Description:

Adapted from the screenplay by Jonathan Lynn, written by Sandy Rustin, additional material by Hunter Foster & Eric Price 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. Based on the cult classic film and the popular board game, Clue is a madcap comedy that will keep you guessing until the final twist!

Christmas Belles Holiday Production

Tupelo Community Theatre will present its holiday production, Christmas Belles by Jamie Wooten, Jessie Jones, and Nicholas Hope, December 8, 9, and 10 at 7:30 p.m. each evening and a matinee on the 10th at 2 p.m. at the Lyric Theatre at 201 N. Broadway in Downtown Tupelo.  

It’s Christmas-time in the small town of Fayro, Texas, and the Futrelle Sisters–Frankie, Twink and Honey Raye–are not exactly in a festive mood. A church Christmas program spins hilariously out of control in this southern farce about squabbling sisters, family secrets, a surly Santa, a vengeful sheep and a reluctant Elvis impersonator. 

Season members may purchase additional seats or claim Wildcard tickets now.   Tickets are $25 for adults and $10 for students and go on sale on November 21st by calling the TCT office at 662-844-1935

Auditions for Tea for Three: Lady Bird, Pat & Betty

Tupelo Community Theatre will hold auditions for Tea for Three: Lady Bird, Pat and Betty on Monday, November 14, and Tuesday, November 15 at 6:00 PM each evening at the Lyric Theatre at 201 N. Broadway in Downtown Tupelo. The show calls for three women who can portray the three First Ladies between the ages of 50 and 65. No advance preparation is needed.

 What is it like for a woman when her husband becomes the president of the United States—and she is suddenly thrust into the spotlight? This witty, sly, and deeply moving script explores the hopes, fears, and loves of Lady Bird Johnson, Pat Nixon, and Betty Ford. In three scenes taking place in the family quarters of the White House just prior to the end of living there as the wife of a president, each of the women confides alone to the audience. Each of the three portraits becomes intimate, by degrees, as the women wrestle with what Pat Nixon called “the hardest unpaid job in the world.”

 Production dates for Tea for Three are January 26-28, 2023, at 7:30 each evening and on January 28 at 2:00 in the afternoon. Rehearsals will begin in early December. For more information, call TCT at 662-844-1935 or contact the director, Bobby Geno, at robertgeno@comcast.net.
