The lights have dimmed on six dramatic performances of “The Diary of Anne Frank” at Webster City Community Theatre. Coming next is the fast-paced, farce-meets-murder mystery “Clue.”

It is scheduled for April 5-7 and 12-14.

Auditions for “Clue” will be held Sunday, February 18, and Monday, February 19, at the Webster City Community Theater Performing Arts Center, 1001 Willson Avenue, Webster City.

They begin at 6 p.m.

Adults wishing to try-out will do cold readings from the script which is based on the screenplay by Jonathan Lynn and written by Sandy Rustin. Scripts are available for three-day checkout at Kendall Young Library in Webster City.

Those auditioning are asked to bring a list of conflict dates so a rehearsal calendar can be made. Read through will be announced following auditions.

Rehearsals will begin the week of February 26 and will be held three to four nights per week.

There are major roles for three females and four males to portray the familiar characters in the classic Hasbro board game: Wadsworth the butler, Miss Scarlet, Mrs, White, Mrs. Peacock, Colonel Mustard, Mr. Green and Mr. Plum.

Director Loween Getter will also be casting females for Yvette the French maid, the cook, and the singing telegram girl, as well as males for Mr. Boddy, a motorist, chief of police, and a policeman.

Assisting Getter is Production Manager Katie Hildal.

Volunteers wanting to get involved behind the scenes or front of house are welcome to attend auditions or can contact Getter or Hildal at 515-297-0846 or 515-402-6818.

The tale begins at a remote mansion where six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects.

The race is on as the body count stacks up.

“Clue” is the comedy whodunit that will leave the audience in stitches as they try to figure out who did it, where — and with what.
