Clue is a madcap comedy about a dinner party with aliases, weapons, and a dead host.

It’s a dark and stormy night, and you’ve 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, well, dead. So whodunit? Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock, and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up. Based on the cult classic film and the popular board game, CLUE is a madcap comedy that will keep you guessing until the final twist.

"We all know the board game and the cult-classic 1985 movie, but this fast-paced comedic thriller keeps the audience on their toes from start to finish with surprising new twists!" says director Coleman Ray Clark, "Nothing is better than experiencing a comedic mystery play live in person, packed with mad-cap mishaps and hysterical hilarity. This play is the perfect challenge for these innovative young actors at CoSA. I hope you'll join us for one deadly weekend of performances only!"

Congratulations to all the COSA Conservatories! Showcase Night proved to be a true celebration of creative collaboration!

Student performances, behind the scenes documentaries, reels, animations and artwork blew us all away!
