Centerburg students performing Clue March 10-13

CENTERBURG – The Centerburg High School Drama Department will present Clue on Friday, March 10, and Saturday, March 11, at 7:30 p.m. and again on Sunday, March 12, at 2:30 p.m. in the Centerburg High School auditorium at 3782 Columbus Road.

Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, 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 the burler Wadsworth, 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.
