"Clue" was a Shockingly Hilarious Play

Written by: Jocelyn Knight

From November 21–23, the Franklin High School Theater Department put on a hilarious comedy in their fall play, Clue. The story followed a murder mystery through the clue pieces as anxiety filled Boddy Manor. Audiences couldn't help but wonder: Who is the murderer on the loose? And will they find out before it's too late?

The play was a success, with the auditorium filled every night. The cast of Clue put on a terrific show and received amazing reviews from the audience. I got to speak with the director of the show, one of the actors, and someone who was in the audience on one of the nights. These young actors spent months rehearsing and slowly piecing together an amazing performance, and their hard work paid off as they had a successful weekend of shows.

When interviewing Ms. Martinez, she said that she was extremely proud of her cast and crew for how much work they put into this production. They spent months building and practicing, and they truly each left their hearts out on the stage. She said that she was so proud of the growth that she saw in each and every person who made this play come to life this past weekend.
