Review: CLUE at Kauffman Center
by Alan Portner - April 04, 2024
Three quarters of a century following its first North American game release, a top-quality touring play version of “Clue, A New Comedy” has appeared set in a mansion located in suburban Washington, D.C. At the risk of sounding like a bad horror novel or even worse “B” movie, all the action takes place in a spooky mansion on a dark and stormy night. This is not the first attempt to leverage the popular game into other venues.

Review: SHOUT! THE MOD MUSICAL at Black Box Theater
by Alan Portner - March 12, 2024
