Leland Drama Presents: Clue

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.

Nov. 22 @ 8:00pm

About Chicago, The Musical:

Chicago is a dazzling and satirical look at fame, justice, and the media machine. Set in 1920s Chicago and based on real-life murders and trials, Chicago follows Roxie Hart, a wannabe vaudevillian star who murders her lover and is arrested, despite her attempts to convince her pushover husband, Amos, to lie for her. In the Cook County Jail, Roxie meets her hero, the famed double-murderess and nightclub performer Velma Kelly. When both acquire the same lawyer, the greedy and lustful superstar, Billy Flynn, tensions come to a head as they vie for the spotlight– though instead of onstage, they’re mugging for the flashbulb of the newspaper reporters. With catchy, sexy music and timeless lyrics by John Kander and Fred Ebb, and a funny, intelligent, and utterly engaging book by Kander and Bob Fosse, Chicago is a musical spectacular that is as addictive as gossip rags and as unforgettable as any trial of the century.
