MEET THE SUSPECTS

Brains, confidence, and just a touch of ego... our next suspect has entered Boddy Manor.

Meet Matt Foster as Professor Plum in Theatre Statesville's upcoming production of CLUE! We put Professor Plum to the test with a few questions to see what he was willing to reveal.

Q: Who do you play in CLUE?
A: The pretentious, postulating, pleasurably perfect Professor Plum.

Q: Describe your character in three words.
A: Please see above.

Q: Which room in Boddy Manor would you avoid at all costs, and why?
A: The Billiard Room. No one can best me at pool!

Q: What's your favorite line or moment in the show? (No spoilers!)
A: Either, 'You are a real colonel, aren't you?' or the secret musical number.

Q: Which CLUE weapon would you least want to find lying around?
A: The rope. By far, the most dangerous weapon handed out.

Q: If you could play any other character in CLUE, who would it be?
A: The Cook.

Q: What's one word that describes this cast?
A: Perfect.

Q: Finish this sentence: You should see CLUE because...
A: ...you can never be sure you know the truth until you experience the end.

Q: What's one thing your character would never admit?
A: I can't read or write...

Professor Plum certainly has plenty of confidence... but is he as clever as he'd like everyone to believe? Join us this September 3rd-13th at North Iredell Performing Arts Center for CLUE and see if you can solve the mystery before the final reveal. Tickets are now on sale at https://our.show/tsclue

Edit:!!!

We have a winner!!

Julia McCall Cable is the winner today!! I’ll also post in a separate post.

Calling all Fabulous Fans one and all!

On 8/5 the show PBS Weekend will be filming an episode here at Key To Escape to highlight what fun we have created. The show airs statewide, and nationally via Internet streaming.

One of the features will be a teaser video as the film crew “tags along” as guests work their cognitive magic to solve a room. I’ve decided to feature Twist of OZ, as we have never done that with other media features others have produced.

If you are available and interested in being a filmed featured guest, let me know!

I suspect this will go fast, so if you will just say “I’m in” below. I might make a game of it though, a nice little escape room riddle contest for fame, lol.

Ready for some fun with some Key To Escape staff?

Matt and Roger will be on the stage for the Theater Statesville presentation of Clue!

Who dunit? Could it be Matt with the Candlestick from Redemption? Or Roger with the wrench he uses to build stuff? You’ll have to come to find out!

Tickets are on sale now! Link in the comments.
