Clue
San Francisco Playhouse - March 09, 2023 through April 22, 2023
San Francisco Playhouse brings the beloved board game "Clue" to the stage in a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery. Murder and blackmail are on the menu as six mysterious guests arrive at Boddy Manor for an unusual dinner party. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects and race to find the killer as the body count rises. Based on the cult-hit 1985 film which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, this uproarious comedy whodunit should leave both cult-fans and newcomers in stitches as they try to solve the mystery. San Francisco Playhouse Co-Founder and Producing Director Susi Damilano helms a starry cast of theatre veterans who personify the game's iconic characters, including Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, and Colonel Mustard.

Seussical
Bayside Performing Arts Center - March 10, 2023 through March 19, 2023
Pied Piper Players is thrilled to present Seussical - a fantastical musical production for all ages that brings to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination - Jojo. In Seussical, The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many "thinks." While trying to protect the Whos, Horton agrees to guard an abandoned egg left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie. Despite ridicule, danger and a kidnapping, Horton remains true and, with the intrepid and ever-loyal Gertrude by his side, shows us the power of perseverance, friendship, family, and loyalty.
