CLUE the Play at Santa Rosa Junior College

The Parker Brothers board game CLUE is a game that unsurprisingly has become a mainstay in pop culture with its deductive reasoning and cheesy characters.  It's elementary that both a movie and a play have been derived from its broad appeal.   CLUE the play is being performed at Santa Rosa Junior College to the delight of student, faculty and fans of mystery, mayhem and comedy.  Comedy you say?  You heard right.  The play is played for camp and silly fun.  You don't have to be a Sherlock to deduce the theatrical pratfalls and zaniness that make the one act, 90 minute show fly by in a wink.  The overtop antics strike like a lead pipe to the head.  This is not your suspenseful who done but it does slay with deadpan humor.  The cast of six guests invited to the mansion for dinner are all being blackmailed by the same Mr. Body whose body turns stiffly in a jiffy when the lights suddenly go out.  Before everyone's fingers start pointing the cook's corpse becomes flambé stitng the mood for murderous shenanigans to congeal.  The butler is often the one one did it.  Here, he was completely guilty of stealing the show.   Some antics in the show are performed in slow motion or rewinded to replay alternate crime scene scenarios.  Every guest gets their few minutes of fame in the blame game for the guilty party.  Here the party got a little tiring as  corroborated by Colonel Mustard in the library. The crafty staging involves a lot of shifting props adding to the already frenetic zest of this old-school farce.  Speaking of school...the theater at SRJC enable its student body to participate in acting, staging, lighting and all the aspects inherent in theatrical productions.  The shamelessly low price of $15/ticket makes it irrefutable that you get a lot of BANG for you buck.  Shout out to the ensemble cast, all of whom performed their overtop characters with aplomb.  It's obvious, CLUE is vibrant and entertaining production.  Don't get caught missing out!
