Clue is the comedy whodunit that will leave both cult-fans and newcomers in stitches as they try to figure outWHO did it, WHERE, and with WHAT! Based on the screenplay by Jonathan Lynn.

As Temecula Valley Players 2021-2022 Re-Launch Season continues, TVP is pleased to bring a beloved cult classic to the Old Town Temecula Community Theater under the helm of veteran award-winning director, Carol Damgen, who recently directed TVPs smash hit production of Mamma Mia! that re-launched theater arts back to Old Town in Sept. 2021 following the global shutdowns due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. In addition, TVP continues its tradition of education in the arts by introducing 14-year-old Jillian Barr who is a student at Vista Murrieta High School as CLUEs costume designer.

With CLUE taking place in New England, 1954, it afforded an opportunity for Ms. Barr to hone her skills while working with a team of veteran artists that can provide further guidance as she goes through her high school career and looking towards a future in costume design. In addition, TVP has invited back former Guest Education Artist, Randon Lane Jr. to provide Musical Direction & Live Piano to accompany the cast adding live background music to help further the dramatic storytelling on stage.
