Did you love to try to deduce “who did it, with what, and where” when you were a kid? Theatre Jacksonville is bringing Colonel Mustard, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, Professor Plum, and Miss Scarlet to life with the hilarious farce-meets-murder-mystery Clue, which opens on Friday, November 4.

Inspired by the classic Hasbro game and based on the 1985 Paramount movie of the same name, Clueweaves a dinner party for six mysterious guests at an elegant mansion into a captivating plot full of intrigue and humor.

“Since so many people played Clue as a favorite game when they were younger, this play will definitely strike a nostalgic and fun chord for audiences of many different ages,” said Theatre Jacksonville Executive Director Sarah Boone. “We thought it was the perfect way to begin our Mainstage lineup for this season.”

Directed by Kacy Hope, Clue will run from Friday, Nov. 4 through Sunday, Nov. 20. Evening shows begin at 7:30, with two Sunday matinees offered on Nov. 13 and 20 at 2 p.m. The cast includes Daniel Austin, Jordan Born, Sommer Farhat, Benjamin Frick, Evan Gould, Noah Hall, Rachel Jones, Katie Johnston, Cathy O’Brien, Lauren Pitre, Michael Porter, Richard Rosado, Brian Seymour and Matthew Turnage. Tickets are included with All-Access season memberships.

The rest of the 103rd season Mainstage lineup will include:
¨     Last Train to Nibroc, opening January 13 – With critics calling it reminiscent of Thornton Wilder, this touching portrait of two people searching for happiness is told through character studies of bookish May and charming young flyer Raleigh.

Audiences will love the blissfully sweet directness of this simply staged romance.

¨     Doubt, opening March 10 – The winner of a Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award, John Patrick Shanley has woven a brilliant and powerful drama about a nun and Bronx school principal taking matters into her own hands when she suspects a young priest of an improper relationship with a student.

¨     Pippin, opening June 9 – Winner of four Tony Awards in 2013, including Best Musical Revival, Pippin is the story of one young man’s journey to be extraordinary and how he finds the secret to true happiness and fulfillment along the way.
