AMENIA — Webutuck’s drama society will return to the stage with a board game-inspired murder mystery, “Clue,” after a hiatus which began just prior to the pandemic.

Webutuck students ranging from elementary age to high school level will be performing in front of a live audience on March 28, 29 and 30, all at 7 p.m.

The story begins with six guests who are invited to a mansion for a dinner party with an anonymous host. Later, when the host is found to be dead, the guests and staff are forced to figure out the identity of the murderer.

Second-year chorus and music teacher Kaylee Kelsey is aiming to reestablish the district’s drama club, with the club’s first performance being “Clue.” Kelsey has been teaching in the Webutuck district in both the intermediate and high school.

The play was originally set to be performed solely by high school students and originally scheduled to lift the curtain in January. However, it will now be performed by a range of students in the district to allow for a more diverse theatrical experience. According to Kelsey, the younger students taking part in the play have little to no theater experience, but are doing very well.

Most of the catering staff heard the tree breaking up and got out of the tent in time, but the chef was hit by the falling limbs and sustained non-critical injuries.
