To close out its 80th season, Oak Ridge Playhouse offers murder, mystery, and mayhem with "CLUE." Based on the quirky 1985 Paramount movie, which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, "CLUE" is the comedy who-dun-it that will leave audiences guessing and dying of laughter.

Known only by their given aliases, join the iconic oddballs Miss. Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mrs. Peacock, Colonel Mustard, Mrs. White, and Mr. Green for an evening they will never forget. As the clock ticks down, the plot thickens, the noose tightens, and the body count stacks up. Watch as this cast of colorful characters race to find out who did it, where, and with what?

Was it Colonel Mustard, in the library, with a candlestick? Or Mrs. Peacock, in the kitchen, with a rope? Everyone’s guilty of having a good time in this fast, furious, and funny farce!

The cast includes Caleb Burnham (Wadsworth), Holland Hysmith (Yvette), Casey Maxwell (Miss. Scarlet), Robbin Paige Sharp (Mrs. Peacock), Virginia Eberting (Mrs. White), Jeffrey Eberting (Colonel Mustard), David Snow (Professor Plum), Rollin Prince (Mr. Green), with Anna Elizabeth Gant, Tony Cedeño and John Marx making up various ensemble roles.

"CLUE" opens Friday, May 5, at 8 p.m. and runs select dates through Sunday, May 14.
