HARTFORD COUNTY, CT - Get your drama hats on because the award-winning Connecticut company, AspenDream Productions announced today that it is official - they are casting for their new exciting murder mystery show, “I Haven’t Got a Clue”©. Auditions Dates: Monday, August 16, 2021 6:30pm to 8:00pm and Sunday, August 22, 2021 3:00pm to 5:00pm by appointment only. Applicants may also submit on-line monologues to http://adpdinnertheater@gmail.com.
Mystery fans, get ready for an all-new “Clue-like” show coming this fall! “I Haven’t Got a Clue”. The show is loosely adapted on the well-known 1985 black comedy mystery film, “Clue”. The set-up of this play is also somewhat constructed upon the famous “Shear Madness” which ran for over 40 years. It was written and conceived during the height of COVID by the Artistic Director, Janice Luise and her crew to be COVID safe.
Additionally, AspenDream is well-known to give back to the community and will be offering these shows “at cost” for a limited time to the public. “Our goal, said Luise, is to help businesses get back on their feet, support struggling actors, and get patrons back in the theater. Please support us.”
