The Memphis Community Players will present “Clue: On Stage” at the Memphis Theatre on August 6, 7, 8, and 9, at 7:00 p.m. "Clue: On Stage" is a farcical murder mystery based on the classic board game and movie. Six guests, each with a secret, are invited to a remote mansion for a dinner party, only to find their host murdered.

The guests, along with the butler, must work together to identify the killer amidst a series of increasing mishaps as they scurry from room to room. The play is a comedy whodunit that keeps audiences guessing until the very end.

Tickets for the performance are $10.00. Theatre Box Office hours will be from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily July 29, 30, 31, and August 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Patrons may call 660 465-2277 for reservations as well.

During ticket sales hours, the Players will be taking orders for commemorative 50th anniversary T-shirts.

Freezing rain will happen tonight. An ice storm is expected to sweep across the area overnight, potentially leading to icy roads and hazardous driving conditions. We strongly advise against traveling if possible, as even a small amount of ice on roads can be extremely slippery and dangerous. Additionally, due to the adverse weather conditions, emergency response times may be delayed, further emphasizing the importance of staying off the roads whenever possible.
