Hilarious whodunit makes local dinner theatre debut

When it came time to solve the mystery of what show should open its 50th Anniversary Season, Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre only needed one Clue. The farce-meets-murder mystery is now on stage for the first time at Beef & Boards.

Inspired by the Hasbro board game and based on the 1985 film, Clue takes place at a remote mansion where six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party. But it’s murder and mayhem that are on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects.

Led by Wadsworth (David Schmittou) – the butler, Miss Scarlett (Deb Wims), Professor Plum (John Vessels), Mrs. White (Cara Statham Serber), Mr. Green (Scot Greenwell), Mrs. Peacock (Suzanne Stark), and Colonel Mustard (Jeff Stockberger) race to find the killer as the body count stacks up.
