Based on the film and board game of the same name, Clue is a fast-paced comedy that follows the classic board game characters Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock, and Mustard as they unravel a murder mystery at Boddy Manor. 

“The great thing about this show is how truly invested the whole cast is in it,” Aurelia Harrison, who plays Mrs. White, said. “The actors love the show, the designers love the show, and that really comes through during our rehearsals and our planning. Everyone is putting their all into this, and it shows.” 

Options for fall shows are usually picked by director and drama  teacher Jessica Ruggles and then voted on by students. “Clue: On Stage,” however, was specifically asked for by many of this year’s seniors and juniors. 

“Everyone involved is so happy to be doing Clue, since we all love the movie so much,” Seamus Buckley, who plays Professor Plum, said. “I can’t wait to perform it in November.” 

While the actors are hard at work bringing the characters to life, the production team is also working to bring aspects of the board game into the show.

“As Props Coordinator, I’ve taken inspiration directly from Clue, it’s one of my favorite board games,” senior Haven Gullet said. “I am shooting for realistic props while staying true to how they look in the game, specifically the weapons and confidential file, I want them to be recognizable.” 

“Clue: On Stage” will be performed on Thursday, November 17th at 7:00pm, Friday, November 18th at 7:00pm, and Saturday, November 19th at 1:00pm & 7:00pm at the GHS auditorium. 

Tickets will be available for purchase at the door or pre-ordered online.
