Project Synopsis
It’s a dark and stormy night, and our cast of oddball characters has been invited to a very unusual dinner party. Each of the guests has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons, and the host is, well, dead. So, whodunit? Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up. Based on the cult classic film and the popular board game, Clue is a madcap comedy that will keep you guessing until the final twist.
Additional Information & Safety Protocols: 

There will be 14 performances and this show will likely sell out most performances so it's great exposure and experience.

See www.vagabondplayers.ca/auditions for a full audition notice including rehearsal information.

As the play is a period piece that takes place in 1954, physical appearance must be accurate so during performances you must be able to cover any visible tattoos with make-up, visible piercings must be removed and hair must be styled for the period. Ponytails or manbuns on men will not suffice (but don’t cut your hair short unless you’ve been cast).

If you have any questions, please contact the director via email at: that.vagabond.chap@gmail.com.
