Was it Professor Plum with the candlestick in the Lounge? 🔎🕯️

Or Mrs. Peacock with the wrench? Mr. Green with the rope? Ms. White with a perfectly reasonable explanation that absolutely no one believes?

You’ll have to come to Boddy Manor and find out.

Clue opens NEXT FRIDAY, September 11, and this murder mystery is anything but serious. Inspired by the iconic board game and beloved film, Clue is packed with suspicious characters, secret passageways, rapid-fire accusations, physical comedy, and a dinner party that gets more ridiculous by the minute.

Everyone has a motive. Everyone has a secret. And no one is handling the situation particularly well.

🎭 CLUE
September 11–October 4
Fridays & Saturdays at 7:30 PM
Sundays at 2:00 PM

🎟️ General: $25 | Students/Seniors: $22
Tickets at ferndalerep.org

Come solve the mystery or, at the very least, watch a room full of suspicious people make it significantly worse.

It is unbelievable to lose another creative icon, theater legend, and person who brought so much joy, wit, strangeness, and light into the world so soon. There will never be another, the infinitely talented Tim Curry.

From The Rocky Horror Show, Clue, Annie, Spamalot, Muppet Treasure Island, and so much more, Tim Curry had a rare gift for making every role feel completely his own. He was bold, funny, theatrical, and truly unforgettable. And he represented a fierce commitment to embracing who you are in a way that opened doors and opened minds.

With Clue on our stage in Sept and The Rocky Horror Picture Show shadow cast event happening this Halloween, his influence feels especially close right now.

What a legend in every sense of the word.

Rest in peace, Tim Curry. ❤️

Murder, mystery, and madcap mayhem are on the menu in this fast-paced comedy inspired by the iconic board game and cult classic film. Packed with physical comedy, colorful characters, secret passageways, and enough twists to keep everyone guessing, Clue is an evening of theatrical chaos from beginning to end.

It is a dark and stormy night at Boddy Manor, where six mysterious guests have gathered for a very unusual dinner party. When their host turns up dead, everyone becomes a suspect, and no one is safe as the bodies begin to pile up. Led by the ever-proper butler Wadsworth, the guests race from room to room trying to uncover the murderer before it is too late.

Was it Miss Scarlet in the library with the candlestick? Professor Plum in the kitchen with the wrench? Come find out for yourself!
