Show Synopsis
Synopsis:
The classic board game is brought to life in Clue: On Stage! Six guests are invited to a dinner party thrown by an anonymous host. They are given aliases--Colonel Mustard, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, Professor Plum, and Miss Scarlet. Though discouraged from revealing personal information, it is soon discovered that all of them have fallen victim to the same blackmailer, their very host of the evening. Each is presented with a weapon and an option: pay their extortionist double, or kill the innocent butler. What follows is a madcap, slapstick evening full of murder, mystery, and laughs as they seek to puzzle out the culprit amongst criminals.

Character Descriptions and Callback Sides:
Character Descriptions are below. Callback sides will be distributed via email to those invited for callbacks.

Wadsworth - A traditional British Butler. Uptight, formal, and by the book. The driving force of the play.
Yvette - A sexy, French maid with her own secret aspirations. (Also plays THE REPORTER in the final scene)
Miss Scarlet - A dry, sardonic D.C. madam who is more interested in secrets than sex.
Mrs. Peacock - The church-going wife of a Senator. A bit batty, neurotic, and quick to hysteria.
Mrs. White - A pale, morbid, and tragic woman. Mrs. White may or may not be the murderer of her five ex-husbands
Colonel Mustard - A puffy, pompous, dense, blow-hard of a military man.
Professor Plum - An academic Casanova who woos women with his big brain.
Mr. Green - A timid, yet officious, rule follower. He’s a bit of a klutz and awfully anxious

Various Ensemble Roles, some will double:
The Cook - a threatening presence
The Motorist - a benign gentleman who rings the wrong doorbell
Singing Telegram Girl - a cute, perky tap dancer
Agents - FBI agents who help save the day.
Mr. Boddy - a slick, James Bond-type fella,
The Cop - a "Regular Joe”

time to return to the Baer Theater at Morgan Park Academy on Thursday, beginning at 6:30 PM. If you are unavailable at this time, please notify the Producers immediately and they will reschedule you. Not receiving a callback does not necessarily mean you have not been cast in
the show. Sometimes, it simply means the Director does not need to see you again to make a decision.
