The Thespians of Delaware Hayes High School are preparing to bring mystery, mayhem, and plenty of laughs to the stage with their production of Clue: On Stage (High School Edition). Scheduled for Friday, December 6, 2024, at 7:30 PM, this comedic murder-mystery promises an evening of intrigue and entertainment for all ages.

The performance will take place at the Hayes Center for the Performing Arts, located at 289 Euclid Ave., and is sure to draw audiences eager for a night filled with suspense and slapstick humor.


A Classic Tale of Whodunit

Adapted from the 1985 cult-classic film Clue, which itself was inspired by the beloved board game, Clue: On Stage combines farcical comedy with a tightly woven murder mystery. The story unfolds in a secluded mansion where six colorful characters—Colonel Mustard, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, Professor Plum, and Miss Scarlet—gather for a dinner party hosted by a mysterious figure.

As the evening progresses, the guests learn they are all victims of blackmail. Tensions rise when each is presented with a weapon and a chilling ultimatum. The situation spirals out of control when the host is found dead, leaving everyone under suspicion.

As the night wears on, more bodies turn up, and the frantic guests—led by the butler, Wadsworth—work to unravel the mystery. Who is the murderer? Where did the crime take place? What weapon was used? Audiences will be captivated by the chaos and comedic timing as the characters navigate a night filled with twists, turns, and uproarious antics.


A Student Showcase of Talent

This production offers Delaware Hayes High School students a chance to shine, both on stage and behind the scenes. Known for their creativity and passion, the Thespians are eager to bring this complex and comedic piece to life. From the intricate set design of the mansion to the spot-on costumes that define each character, the performance is shaping up to be a visual and theatrical treat.
