CLUE, the classic board game where everyone is both an amateur detective and also a criminal suspect is one of the more fun and intriguing ways to spend time at play.
The board game came to life in 1985 when Paramount Pictures released a movie version with stars such as Madeline Kahn, Tim Curry, Michael McKean and Eileen Brennan. The movie featured three alternative endings.
Now, the Humboldt High School dramatics department is performing CLUE: (the High School Edition.)
The play will be performed this Friday and Saturday, March 22-23 at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium. Tickets are $6 for adults and $3 for students.
Here is the cast list
Wadsworth: Zackery Evans
Yvette: Joslyn Orr
Miss Scarlet: Morgan Mayall
Mrs. Peacock: Jaynee Depue
Mrs. White: Jordan Kahl
Colonel Mustard: Hayden Hansen
Professor Plum: Kayden Caquelin
Mr. Green: Mason McKimmey

Thanks to the “eagle eye” of Emergency Management Coordinator, Kyle Bissell, and the work of a dedicated group of volunteer firefighters, a pair of nesting bald eagles and their unborn eaglets were saved on Wednesday, March 13.
According to reports, a landowner was burning CRP grass on Tuesday, March 12 on 160th Street and Arizona Avenue in Bradgate. According to the incident commander, Bradgate Fire Chief, Clay Wells, at one point, the fire jumped the CRP land area, igniting a stand of timber that runs along the Des Moines River. Fire crews from Bradgate, Rolfe, West Bend, Gilmore City and Bode responded to the fire.
