Clue: This rollicking murder mystery is based on the board game and film of the same name, and tells the story of six guests mysteriously summoned to Boddy Manor. When Mr. Boddy himself is found murdered, the questions arise: who did it, and who else will become a victim before the night is through?

Murder by Poe: A woman lost in a storm takes shelter in a mysterious house in the forest, only to realize that there is more danger within than without. Within the house are the murderers from seven beloved Edgar Allan Poe stories, and she must unravel the truth of their motives and fates in order to save herself.

She Kills Monsters: Agnes Evans was a perfectly average high school senior, until she joins a Dungeons & Dragons campaign in an effort to connect with her little sister Tilly, who died in an accident last year. The journey introduces her to strange new friends and oddly-familiar foes, and shows her the true power of courage and geekery.

Three plays, each performed three times. Catch them all!

Clue: Fri 6th 7:30pm, Sun 8th 2pm, Sat 14th 2pm

Note: Clue is recommended for audience members of all ages! Although it involves a murder mystery, it is played for laughs in a very goofy way. Both Murder by Poe and She Kills Monsters are recommended to middle-school aged audiences and above, due to thematic elements of death, violence, and - in She Kills Monsters - the portrayal of bullying and homophobia.

So grab your popcorn, log on and enjoy in the comfort of your own home!
