Leland Drama Presents ClueLeland Drama Presents: Clue – March 25-28, 2026

It’s a dark and stormy night, and you’ve been invited to the most dangerous dinner party in town. Leland High School Drama is bringing the beloved classic to life this spring with Clue: High School Edition — a madcap murder mystery comedy that will keep audiences guessing until the final twist.

Based on the cult classic 1985 film and the iconic board game, the show follows six colorful suspects — Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, and Colonel Mustard — as they race through Boddy Manor to unmask a killer before the body count rises. Each guest has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons, and the host is, well, dead. Whodunit?

Whether you’re a lifelong Clue fan or new to the story, this is a fun night out for the whole family. Don’t miss your chance to solve the mystery live on stage.
