Santa Rosa Junior College Theatre Arts debuts its 2023-2024 season with a stage adaptation of the classic Hasbro board game “Clue” on Friday Sept. 29 at the Burbank Auditorium Main Theatre.
Directed by Reed Martin, “Clue” is based on the screenplay by Jonathan Lynn which was adapted for the stage by Sandy Rustin. It features additional material by Hunter Foster and Eric Price and original music by Michael Holland.
“Clue” is a comedic whodunit mystery based on the iconic 1985 film, which itself is inspired by the board game. “It’s not an exact recreation but it’s fairly close to the movie,” Martin said.
Martin hopes that audiences who come to see the show leave happy and entertained.
“It feels like people could use a good laugh these days and I think this is gonna deliver that if we’re doing it right,” he said.
“Clue” will run at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 29-30 and Oct. 4-7 with 2 p.m. matinee showings on Oct. 1, 7 and 8. Martin said that the show was written with no intermission and a run time of approximately 90 minutes.
