CHARACTER BREAKDOWN

Wadsworth – A traditional English butler in every sense: uptight, formal, and “by the book.” He is the driving force in the play.
Yvette – a loyal and sexy French maid.
Miss Scarlet – a dry, sardonic D.C. madam, more interested in secrets than sex.
Mrs. Peacock – the wealthy wife of a senator. A bit batty, neurotic, and quick to hysteria.
Mrs. White – a pale, morbid, and tragic woman. She may or may not be the murderer of her five ex-husbands.
Colonel Mustard – a puffy, pompous, dense, blowhard of a military man.
Professor Plum – an arrogant academic, easily impressed with himself.
Mr. Green – a timid, yet officious, rule follower. He’s awfully anxious.
Ensemble Woman – plays the Cook (gruff woman with a threatening presence), the Singing Telegram Girl (a tap dancer with a heart of gold), the Auxilliary Scarlet (back of Miss Scarlet in a scene of theatrical trickery), and the Backup Cop.
Ensemble Man 1 – plays Mr. Boddy (a slick, Frank Sinatra, film noir type), the Motorist (a professional driver), and the Chief of Police (a cop who helps save the day).
Ensemble Man 2 – plays the Unexpected Cop (a regular joe), the Backup Cop, and Auxiliary Mustard (back of Colonel Mustard in a scene of theatrical trickery).

STORYLINE & SYNOPSIS

It’s a dark and stormy night, and a cast of oddball characters has been invited to a very unusual dinner party. Each guest 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 you guessing until the final twist.
