Usual suspects

Based on the popular board game and the cult classic film, “Clue” is a madcap comedy that keeps audiences guessing until the final twist.

It’s a dark and stormy night, and a cast of oddball characters has been invited to a very unusual dinner party. Each of the guests has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons, and the host is dead. Iconic oddballs Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock and Mustard race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up.

The suspects are as follows:

• Wadsworth, played by Ty Pearce, a biomedical engineering major from Columbia City, Indiana
• Yvette, played by Sage Scherzer, an athletics and recreation major from Elkhorn, Wisconsin
• Miss Scarlet, played by Alexandria Lewis, an English education major from Schoolcraft, Michigan
• Peacock, played by Evyenia Butterfield, a science education major from Valparaiso, Indiana
• White, played by Madelyn Cox, a psychology major from Hicksville, Ohio
• Colonel Mustard, played by Noah Lee, a communication major from Rushville, Indiana
• Professor Plum, played by Kristian Haueter, a computer and information technology major from Lake Isabella, Michigan
• Green, played by Nathan Schmidt, a computer science and information technology major from West Chicago, Illinois
• Boddy, played by Reece Reinholtz, a design engineering technology major from Osceola, Indiana
• The Motorist, played by Jonah Kyle, a computer science and information technology major from Valparaiso, Indiana
• Chief of Police, played by Adam Breen, a mechanical engineering major from Fremont, Indiana
• Unexpected Cop and Backup Cop, played by Cole Gaudreau, a mechanical engineering major from New Palestine, Indiana
