The Broadview Heights Spotlights Theater will hold auditions for Clue:
Stay-At-Home Version, a live-streaming production that will run February 5, 6, 12, & 13, 2021. Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie which
was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue is a hilarious
farce-meets-murder mystery. The tale begins at a remote mansion, where six mysterious
guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on
the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects. Led by the
butler Wadsworth, Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs.
Peacock and Colonel Mustard race to find the killer as the body count stacks
up. The characters and the audience must try to figure out who, where, and with
what.
“With the uncertainty of our ability to provide a live, in-person,
we felt it necessary to plan something exciting to start our 2021 season,” says
Tim Anderson, Education Director for the Spotlights and the director for this
production. “This show is based on a
movie with sort of a cult following among theater types. Our production will still have a very theatrical
feel, including full costumes, a scale model of a set, and sound effects.” The Spotlights produced a successful run of a
virtual production of The Secret Life of Girls in October.
Auditions for Clue will be held virtually on Sunday, December 6, from 2:00 – 4:00PM and Monday, December 7, from 7:00 PM to 9:00PM. Please visit www.broadview-heights-spotlights.org to sign up and/or for more information.
All rehearsals, which will begin minimally in December, and performances will be held virtually. Participants must have a device with a web camera and reliable internet access. Cast members also will need to pick up costumes and props at the Spotlights Theater in Broadview Heights in mid-January. Additional questions may be sent to the director at education@broadview-heights-spotlights.org.
