UA THEATRE PRESENTS “CLUE” ONSTAGE
Stage Adaptation Streaming LIVE from The University of Akron

Akron, OH – The University of Akron (UA) Theatre Program continues its
2020-2021 season with the Spring MainStage Virtual Production, “Clue”
written by Sandy Rustin with additional material by Hunter Foster and Eric
Price.  Adapted from the screenplay by Jonathan Lynn for the Paramount
Pictures Motion Picture based on the classic Hasbro board game Clue, the
virtual performance will be directed by guest artist and UA Associate
Lecturer in Theatre Arts, Dane CT Leasure (SDC).  The play’s ensemble is
made up of both community members and students from UA as well as other
schools who study a variety of disciplines.  The cast includes Lysander
Mills, Baleigh Lynn, Tia Jones, Rebecca Neff, Jackie Manno, Noah Lee, Jared
Vullo, Jacob Marinak, Arianna Allen, Emily Kay McNeely, and Owen Casino.

Online showings for “Clue” will stream LIVE on Broadway On Demand March 5,
6, 11, 12, 13 at 7:30 P.M. and March 7 at 2:30 P.M.  Tickets are $5 for all

some of the cast hosted on Facebook Live on Friday, February 26, 2021 at

Director Dane CT Leasure says “We are very excited to bring this cult
classic to the stage as the spring Mainstage production. The students have
been working exceptionally hard to bring it alive!”  Graduating UA Theatre
Arts Major Lysander Mills agrees: “This will be my last show at The
University, and I am excited to go out with a bang!”

The second of the MainStage productions in UA Theatre’s 2020-2021 Season,
“Clue” is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery. Six colorful guests
assemble for a dinner with murder and blackmail on the menu. When their
host turns up dead, they all become suspects. The race to find the killer
is on as the body count stacks up. Clue is the comedy whodunnit that will
leave both cult-fans and newcomers in stitches as they try to figure out…
WHO did it, WHERE, and with WHAT!

The Theatre Arts Program at The University of Akron equips undergraduate
and graduate students with a broad knowledge of theatre arts and
fundamental practical skills in order to prepare them to address the
emerging issues and challenges of the theatre profession in a diverse and
vibrant society. The Theatre Arts Program provides high quality educational
and artistic experiences that enhance the cultural lives of all students at
The University of Akron, as well as the residents of the greater Akron
community and the Northeast Ohio region.
