In every game of CLUE, there are three questions: who is the murderer, where did the murder take place, and what was the weapon used? However, this week, the questions are instead: who is performing a play this week, where are they performing the play, and what play is it?

As you may have guessed from the opening statement, the play is CLUE, inspired by the 1985 movie which was based on the Hasbro board game. As for who and where, the answer is Pickerington High School Central, at the school theater (300 Opportunity Way).

The plot of CLUE revolves around six mysterious strangers who have all been invited to a mansion for a dinner party. When their host ends up dead, the guests all become suspects in his murder, each with a unique weapon.

If the thought of murder makes you cautious, have no fear: CLUE is above all else, a comedy, and is sure to raise your spirits.

Theatre Director Andrew Martin said, “We’ve really had a blast with it because the kids have really done a great job of bringing these characters to life. It’s funny, it’s a really good time.”
