The suspects sing, dance and joke their way into your heart... or into suspicion, as you guess which one of the 216 possible endings, different every performance, is the answer to: whodunit, in what room, with what weapon. Based on the popular board game, called CLUE in North America and CLUEDO in 71 other countries, this rousing, fun-filled musical brings the world's best-known mystery suspects to life on the stage, and invites the audience to play along to solve a mystery.

Steel Magnolias
A Comedy/Drama A skillfully crafted, lovingly evoked picture of eccentricity in the small-town South. In the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy’s beauty salon we meet her eager new assistant, Annelle, (who is not sure whether or not she is still married) the town’s rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, (“I’m not crazy, I’ve just been in a bad mood for forty years) an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, (who has a raging sweet tooth) the local social leader, M’Lynn, and her daughter, Shelby, who is about to marry a “good ole boy.” Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play moves toward a dramatic turn of events. The women are drawn together at the sudden realization of their mortality and that they must rely on one other’s underlying strength and love.
