It's a dark and stormy night, and you've been invited to a very unusual dinner party. Each of the guests has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons, and the host is, well . . . dead. So whodunnit? Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock, and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up.

Meet The Cast
Charles Bertram (Wadsworth) has recently found his way back to acting after an almost 20 year break. Recent productions include shows in CPAC's One Act Play Festival, Raven Shorts in Healdsburg and Tapas with Pegasus Theater Company in Guerneville. Favorite prior roles include Cliff in Look Back in Anger, Banquo in Macbeth, and Dafydd Llewellyn in A Chorus of Disapproval. Clue marks his first full-length performance at CPAC.
Avni Shah (Yvette) life peaked (according to her dad) when she played Maria in her NJ high school's production of West Side Story. She took an 18-year hiatus from theater during medical training and the pandemic, and she's thrilled to be acting in her first play at CPAC since moving to Cloverdale last year. She is also a member of the Cloverdale Community Choir. Avni lives with her partner Michael and sweet senior dog Atlas.
Danielle Martin (Miss Scarlet) is a newer member of the local theater community. Her past performances include Company, Steel Magnolias, A Radio Play, and The Rocky Horror Show. She is excited to take on the role of Miss Scarlet in Clue.
Dawn Gibson (Mrs. Peacock) is delighted to be performing as Mrs. Peacock, her dream role! She has been acting in Sonoma County off and on since she moved here in 1994, starting with the role of Mr. Beaver in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe at SRJC. However, the Cloverdale stage is by far Dawn’s favorite space to perform. You may remember seeing her previously in Sin, Sex & the CIA as Millicent, Yo Ho Ho, A Pirate’s Christmas as Grainne O’Malley, The Foreigner as Betty and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde as Cybel to name a few. Dawn has had so much fun playing with this awesome cast & crew of Clue, and she hopes you enjoy the show!

You may remember her as Sister Robert Ann in Sister Robert Anne’s Cabaret Class, Mae Tuck in Tuck Everlasting, Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd, The Baker's Wife in Into the Woods, Grizabella in CATS, Mrs. Potts in Beauty and the Beast, Grandmama in Addams Family, or as Mamma Murphy in Bright Star at Cinnabar earlier this year. Tika would like to give special thanks to her family and her incredibly supportive and loving boyfriend, fellow actor, Matt Farrell.
Thomas Gibson (Colonel Mustard) is excited to be on stage once again. He was last seen at the Cloverdale Performing Arts Center in the role of Paul Sheldon, in Misery.

Greg Martin (Mr. Green) is overjoyed to be taking on the role of Mr. Green in Clue. After being conscripted by a stage manager to perform in his first play at CPAC, The Beard of Avon, he has taken on many roles up and down the 101. A young father annoyed at the presence of his husband's bigoted ex-lover's mother in Mothers and Sons in Willits, a 1950's young chauvinistic and love struck doctor in Harvey at Ukiah players theater, to one of his favorite performances where he fell in love with a shark in an aquarium at CPAC! Yes, you read that correctly.
