AVAILABLE ROLES:

WADSWORTH – (Male/Female 30s-40s) A traditional British butler in every sense: uptight, formal and “by the book.” He is the driving force in the play.

YVETTE – (Female, 20s-40s) A sexy, French Maid, with her own secret aspirations. (Also plays THE REPORTER in the final scene).

MISS SCARLET – (Female, 30s-40s) A dry, sardonic D.C. Madam who is more interested in secrets than sex.

MRS. PEACOCK – (Female, 50s+) The church-going wife of a Senator. A bit batty, neurotic, and quick to hysteria.

MRS. WHITE – (Female, 30s-50s) A pale, morbid, and tragic woman. Mrs. White may or may not be the murderer of her five ex-husbands.

COLONEL MUSTARD – (Male, 40s-60s) A puffy, pompous, dense, blow-hard of a military man.

PROFESSOR PLUM – (Male, 30s-40s) An academic Casanova who woos women with his big … brain.

MR. GREEN – (Male, 20s-40s) A timid, yet officious, rule follower. He’s a bit of a klutz and awfully anxious.

MR. BODDY – (Male, 20s-50s) A mobster type fella. A dark cloud follows this guy wherever he goes.

THE COOK – (Female, 20s-60s) A threatening presence.

THE COP — (Male, 30s-50s) A “Regular Joe.”

THE MOTORIST – (Male, 20s-50s) A benign gentleman who rings the wrong doorbell.

SINGING TELEGRAM GIRL – (Female, 20s-40s) A tap dancer with a heart of gold.  Tap dancing skills not necessary.

AN AGENT – (Female, 20s-60s) An FBI agent who helps to save the day.

SYNOPSIS:
Prepare for an evening of mystery and outright hilarity with Clue: On Stage, the uproarious play by Sandy Rustin, based on Jonathan Lynn’s iconic 1985 screenplay and inspired by the classic board game from Hasbro.

This whodunit invites you to join six eccentric guests at a remote mansion, where murder and mayhem are on the menu. As bodies start piling up, everyone becomes a suspect and a detective as the group tries to piece together the clues and uncover the culprit. With its rapid-fire dialogue, clever plot twists, and side-splitting humor, Clue promises a thrilling and entertaining theatrical experience.

Step into the world of Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mrs. Peacock, Mr. Green, Col. Mustard, Mrs. White, and Wadsworth the butler as they navigate secret passages, double-crosses, and red herrings.

Sandy Rustin’s adaptation captures the spirit of the original film while adding fresh, comedic touches that will keep you laughing from start to finish. Don’t miss your chance to see Clue, a delightful blend of suspense and comedy that will leave you guessing until the final reveal.
