Parkland High School drama students searched for a killer in their production of “Clue” Oct. 14-16.
This play follows Mrs. Peacock, Miss Scarlet, Mrs. White, Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum, and Mr. Green, as they race to solve the murder of Mr. Boddy after they were given a variety of weapons from Wadsworth, the butler, and the body count begins stacking up in Boddy Manor.
“Clue,” is based on the 1985 film adapted from Paramount Pictures and the Hasbro board game.
The play, written by Jonathan Lynn, keeps the audience members guessing who the murderer is until the end.
The Parkland play was directed by Parkland Music and English teacher Andrea Roposh.
Actors included Emily Bachl as Mrs. Peacock; Anna Lorenzo as Miss Scarlet; Gabby Baran as Mrs. White; Andrew Sachse as Colonel Mustard; Eric Wood as Professor Plum; Vasilis Motsenigos as Mr. Green; Agidio Poloni as Wadsworth; Jaxon Egge as Mr. Boddy; Gabriella Gavirati as Yvette, the maid and Addie Treat as the Cook.
