The St. Andrew's-Sewanee Performing Arts Department brings a classic board game and motion picture to life with Clue: On Stage, at the McCrory Hall for the Performing Arts, May 2nd, 3rd, and 4th! Shows are 7:30 PM Friday;  2 PM and 7:30 PM Saturday; and 2 PM Sunday. 

Performing Arts Director, Dr. Will Eyerly, has directed two casts for this show to give additional opportunities to our growing number of student performers in the program. The "Gold Cast" performs Friday evening and Saturday afternoon, and the "Blue Cast" takes the stage Saturday evening and Sunday Afternoon. 

“I think I speak for everyone involved in Clue when I say the audience is in store for a really great time," said Eyerly. “We are excited to bring this fun show to the community and we can hardly wait to hear the laughter fill the house.”

In the play, as in the movie and game, six guests assemble at the remote Boddie Manor for a dinner party. When their host turns up dead, Wadsworth the Butler, Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock and Colonel Mustard must race to find the killer. The show features a unique set design and projections that allows the audience to see all of the house all the time, with no hidden actions. While Clue: On Stage is filled with familiar characters and game and movie elements, it is not predictable. The audience aisles and house doors are even used during the production to bring everyone into the action!

Clue: On Stage for the St. Andrew's-Sewanee community is the high school edition, which has been modified to be more accessible for the whole family and has a PG rating.

At St. Andrew's-Sewanee School the Theatre is a space for learning and for creating. Formal theatre courses focus on collaborative skills, scenework, types of performance and acting methods. Students in both Middle School and the Upper School have the opportunity to audition for productions throughout the year. Most years, the school stages two major productions including one musical. 

In addition to performance, students may help with directing, scenery and costume design, music, and administrative functions related to the shows. Through the theatre program, students enjoy a creative outlet while honing lifelong skills of public speaking, teamwork and working under strict deadlines.

SAS Theatre productions in recent years have included: The Sound of Music, Babka Without Borders, Cinderella, The Ants, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Sweeney Todd, Comedy of Errors, Godzilla, Metamorphoses, a festival of one-act plays, an original collaboration, and a revue of Broadway show tunes.

If you ever (thought about performing) but have thought, "but I'm not good enough," my question back to you is "Says who?" Here at SAS we are all given the opportunity and resources that the community has in order to grow, all we need to do is to be bold and take that first step, then everyone around you will help you along the way.
