The Minneapolis High School Theatre Department will present its annual spring play, Clue, on Friday and Saturday, March 10 & 11, at 7:30 pm in the MJSHS auditorium. Admission will be $3.00 for students and $5.00 for adults. The play, Clue, is based on the screenplay by Jonathan Lynn, written by Sandy Rustin, additional material by Hunter Foster and Eric Price, based on the Paramount Pictures Motion Picture, based on the Hasbro board game CLUE, original music by Michael Holland.
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 Wadsworth – the butler, Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock and Colonel Mustard race to find the killer 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!
