SILER CITY, N.C. — Who? Where? And with what? Those are the mysteries to be revealed when Jordan-Matthews theater arts classes present “Clue: High School Edition.”
Performances are Friday, May 12, and Saturday, May 13, both at 7 p.m. in the JM Auditorium.
Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie, 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 Wadsworth — the butler, Miss Scarlet, 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!
General admission is $5 and tickets are available now at JMArtsTickets.com or beginning one hour before each performance at the door. Qualifying JMArts members will be admitted free according to benefits at their membership levels. The running time is approximately 90 minutes with no intermission.
More information about “Clue: High School Edition” and other arts events scheduled for this season is available online at jmarts.org/events.
