Husson University’s student theatre company to present the comedy/mystery “Clue,” based on the classic Parker Brothers board game

Husson University Theatre (HUT), the university’s official student theatre club, will perform the play “Clue,” This theatrical production was written by Sandy Rustin and is based on the screenplay by Jonathan Lynn. “Clue” brings the classic Parker Brothers board game to life!

The play begins with guests gathering for a mysterious dinner party. By the end of the evening, however, each guest is suspected of MURDER! Performances of “Clue” will take place on April 14, 15 and 16 at the Gracie’s Black Box Theatre located on the campus of Husson University in Bangor, Maine.

“I’m extremely proud of the time and effort the actors have put into this show! Their dedication to this production has helped make this play both fun and entertaining,” said the show’s director Gracie Demchak, a Husson University junior.

This comedic mystery revolves around six unique characters: Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Colonel Mustard, Mr. Green, Mrs. White and Mrs. Peacock. Each of these individuals receives a mysterious invitation to a dinner party one evening at the elusive Boddy Manor. When someone in the house turns up dead, the accusations fly. In the end, only the butler knows who did it.

Husson University Theatre is an entirely student-run organization. The director, Gracie Demchak, also directed HUT’s production of Connor McPherson’s “The Birds,” last spring. The play’s production team consists of 19 actors and crewmembers.

Performances of “Clue” will take place in the Gracie’s Black Box Theatre on April 14 and 15 at 7 p.m., with an additional afternoon matinee scheduled for Sunday, April 16 at 2 p.m. General admission tickets are only available at the door one hour before each performance. Seating is limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. Admission is free for Husson students and $10 for others.
