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. ### *Anna-Jeannine Kemper *she/her/hers *Theatre Coordinator and Production Manager* School of Dance, Theatre, and Arts Administration The University of Akron Akron, OH 44325 Phone: (330) 972-7895 Website: uakron.edu/dtaa <http://www.uakron.edu/dtaa> Facebook: facebook.com/UADanceTheatre <http://www.facebook.com/UADanceTheatre> Instagram: instagram.com/UADanceTheatre Twitter: twitter.com/UADanceTheatre [image: signature_167146512]
