Dorset, VT - CLUE: On Stage will mesmerize fans at the Dorset Playhouse for two weekend runs from April 10 through 19, 2026. The show is based on the screenplay by Jonathan Lynn and written by Sandy Rustin with additional material by Hunter Foster and Eric Price.

Murder and blackmail are on the menu when six mysterious guests assemble at Boddy Manor for a night they’ll never forget! Was it Mrs. Peacock in the study with the knife? Or was it Colonel Mustard in the library with the wrench? CLUE: On Stage is the ultimate whodunit that will leave you dying of laughter and keep you guessing until the final twist.
