'Clue' Hits Stage For 2 Pennsbury Thespian Troupe Performances

FAIRLESS HILLS, PA – Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum and the whole cast of characters will take the stage Friday and Saturday night in a performance by Pennsbury High School’s Thespian Troupe 830 of "Clue."

Shows start at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 4, and Saturday, Nov. 5, in the Orange Auditorium at Pennsbury High School West, 608 South Olds Boulevard, Fairless Hills.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students and may be purchased online or at the door 45 minutes before showtime, cash only.

“We are excited at trying our hand at this madcap comedy that never stops. It is full of laughs and keeps you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out who did it,” Troupe Director Matt South said.

Based on the Paramount film and the Hasbro board game, the stage show is adapted from the screenplay by Jonathan Lynn with additional material by Hunter Foster, Sandy Rustin and Eric Price.

The show is described as a “murder-mystery comedy thriller” that follows six guests at a mysterious dinner party where they find themselves implicated as murder suspects when their host turns up dead.

Wadsworth, the butler, leads Mrs. Peacock, Mr. Green, Colonel Mustard, and other guests at an attempt to find the killer as the body count builds. Following in the footsteps of the film, the project bills itself as a “comedy whodunit.”

Casting includes Addison Blumberg, Dylan Cardone, Cassi Daley, Ryan Levanthal, Jaymes Lewis, Shaelyn Nuschke, Jacob Rabinowitz and Scott Wilson and featuring Charlotte Block, Meghan Crohe, Jason Kaplan, Ben Pulka, Annamarie Radzinski and Ellie Umstead.

The Drama Club has been a part of Pennsbury High School since the 1950s and a member of the International Thespian Society since 1967.

It is under the guidance of Director Matthew South, Assistant Director Damari Fallacaro and Costume Designer Ruth Schanbacher.

Other performances this year include: Aesop's (Oh So Slightly Updated) Fables & Tables (one act) in December and 12 Angry Jurors in April.
