Synopsis: It’s a dark and stormy night, and we’ve been invited to a very unusual dinner party. Each of the guests has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons, and the host is, well, dead. So whodunit? Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock, and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up. Based on the cult classic film and the popular board game, Clue is a madcap comedy that will keep the audience guessing until the final twist.

Absences
We understand that students will occasionally have conflicts. But we have a limited amount of time to rehearse, and we need every minute. No more than 2 rehearsal absences Sep 14 – Oct 30. No absences during Tech Week & Performances. Please do not schedule appointments or other activities during rehearsals. If an absence is unavoidable, please email details. Both casts are called to every rehearsal unless otherwise noted!
If you are absent due to illness, we will communicate with you on a case-by-case basis to determine the best plan for moving forward and trying to keep the student in the cast.
If you miss school (except for an excused, communicated-in-advance doctor’s appointment), you cannot attend rehearsal. Unexcused absences will lead to dismissal from the show.
