UA THEATRE HOLDS VIRTUAL AUDITIONS FOR “CLUE” Students and community members invited to audition for virtual theatre production Akron, OH – The University of Akron School of Dance, Theatre, and Arts Administration invites students and community members to audition for UA Theatre’s 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 Leasure. 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 whodunit that will leave both cult-fans and newcomers in stitches as they try to figure out…WHO did it, WHERE, and with WHAT! *Auditions will take place Wednesday, January 20, 2021 and Thursday, January 21, 2021 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM online. Appointments are required. Audition time slots will last for 30 minutes and will consist of readings from the production script.
