This weekend, Arkport Drama Club will be performing the stage rendition of “Clue,” based on the 1985 murder mystery movie.
Performances will be Friday, May 20 at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 21 at 5 p.m. Sunday, May 22 at 2 p.m. Admission costs will be a monetary donation collected at the door; all donations will be used to fund future drama productions. Additionally, the concession stand will be open before the show and during intermission.
The cast is composed of over 40 students grades 7-12 and is led by the club’s advisor Tomi Stratton and student directors Emily Pfaff and Abby VanOrder.
Stratton said, “Over the past two months, the actors have been tirelessly studying lines (even facetiming each other after practice to run lines again) and stage crew have been painting sets, learning new roles backstage, and creating props. After not having a drama club last year, I’m proud of all the work these students put into this production. We hope you enjoy the show!”
