Flames on the Side of My Face: A Live Reading of Clue

Ghostlight Ensemble presents the next installment of its ongoing live movie reading series: Flames on the Side of My Face: A Live Reading of Clue.

Join us at 7 p.m. on Thursday, February 9, at Black Eagle Club (1938 W Irving Park Rd, Chicago, IL 60613), and make sure you bring your fedora and magnifying glass!

Clue: The Movie is a 1985 murder mystery/dark comedy film based on the board game of the same name. Six blackmail victims are invited to an isolated mansion by a man who knows a dark secret from each of their pasts. Each has a pseudonym and is handed a weapon, at which point the lights are switched off and the person believed to be their blackmailer is killed. Can the guests uncover the murderer before they all become victims? Note: Since this performance is only one night, we will feature all three theatrical endings à la the video release.

The reading is directed by Maria Burnham.

The cast is:

Wadsworth: Ethan Carlson
Mrs. White: Jean E. Mueller-Burr+
Miss Scarlet: Miona Lee+
Mrs. Peacock: Katharine Jordan
Col. Mustard: Reid Henry+
Prof. Plum: Sean Harklerode
