AUDITIONS
Clue
by Sandy Rustin
Based on the board game and the screenplay by Johnathan Lynn
Directed by Lorin Torbitt
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!

Miss Scarlet

Mrs. Peacock

Colonel Mustard
Male
A puffy, pompous, dense, blow-hard of a military man.

An academic Casanova who woos women with his big … brain.
