Clue Stay at Home Version Audition Information If You Are Interested Clue Stay At Home Version Audition Information If you are interested please read the following and fill out the attached audition form/attach a photo of you (headshot) and send to my school email – [email protected] by Sept. 10th. I will then send you sides of the play to do. Record yourself reading those lines (you will need someone to read the other character’s lines back to you) and send to me. I will cast and send scripts with the blocking. All of this should be completed and rehearsals started by the end of September. We complete shooting by the end of October. Editing and sound will happen November and December. Be prepared to redo a scene or two if there are problems. Screening is planned for end of December or January. We will have a weekend of streaming with the possibility that we will do another weekend of streaming later in the year. Greetings to all who are interested in this play! The play is based on the screenplay which was based on the board game. Clue has also been made into a musical. A classic whodunit with a comedic twist, the play offers the performer ample opportunity to create larger than life characters. My production will be filmed and edited like a movie. Film acting techniques will be taught, all actors will be given material for green screens, and there will be a need for actors to adhere to some strict guidelines if the filming is to be successful. This style of performing will be very different from what you are accustomed to when in the Bowe Theatre. Be ready to learn! Some advantages to doing the play this way 1. You don’t need to memorize the entire script, just the segments you will be in during that day of shooting. 2. You won’t have to leave your house to work. 3. You will get to have some members of your family participate. Don’t worry, their faces won’t be seen, just maybe a hand passing you something, or the back of their head etc. Some disadvantages to doing the play this way 1. You will need to follow directions – film is far more technical for the actor. Don’t worry, I will help you. 2. You will need to learn a new way of acting. 3. You will have to have some family members participate. J Each actor will need to be able to set up an area in one room of your house to tape your scenes that is absolutely quiet. You will need to be able to hang (tacks work well and only leave little tiny holes) the green sheet on the wall and lay on the floor. The green screen will allow my film editor to put in the backdrops. There will be times when the actor will need to rehearse with small groups via zoom on their own. This is called self- discipline. If you don’t have it, develop it. A lot of amateur productions that I have seen online so far are just not up to my standards. You will need to be able to follow my directions in order to make this work. I learned a lot from putting together a film using ”stay at home directing” strategies with some students this past spring. My learning curve was steep but this is still a new area for me as a director. Fortunately I have a filmmaker who studied film acting in NYC with William Esper now living at home with me. She is will be giving you acting strategies from her experiences. Take a look below at the characters in the play. The ensemble actors (who play multiple roles) may or may not be the AUXILIARY characters. I am still waiting for a full script (the district changed emails and I think this may be the problem) to find out about the scene of theatrical trickery and the multiple Wadworths. I believe the auxiliary characters can be played by family members. When you look at perusal scripts they leave out a lot so you don’t steal the material so I don’t have a completely clear idea of the play but the 2/3 that I read is hilarious. Clue Character List WADSWORTH Male A traditional British butler in every sense: uptight, formal and “by the book.” He is the driving force in the play. YVETTE Female A sexy, French Maid, with her own secret aspirations. (Also plays THE REPORTER in the final scene). MISS SCARLET Female A dry, sardonic D.C. Madam who is more interested in secrets than sex. MRS. PEACOCK Female The church-going wife of a Senator. A bit batty, neurotic, and quick to hysteria. MRS. WHITE Female A pale, morbid, and tragic woman. Mrs. White may or may not be the murderer of her five ex-husbands. COLONEL MUSTARD Male A puffy, pompous, dense, blow-hard of a military man. PROFESSOR PLUM Male An academic Casanova who woos women with his big … brain. MR. GREEN Male A timid, yet officious, rule follower. He’s a bit of a klutz and awfully anxious. ENSEMBLE WOMAN TO PLAY: THE COOK – A threatening presence. THE MOTORIST – A benign gentleman who rings the wrong doorbell. AUXILIARY SCARLET – The back of Miss Scarlet during a scene of theatrical trickery. AUXILIARY WADSWORTH – Wadsworth during two scenes of theatrical trickery. AN AGENT – An FBI agent who helps to save the day. ENSEMBLE MAN TO PLAY: MR. BODDY – A mobster type fella. A dark cloud follows this guy wherever he goes. THE COP — A “Regular Joe.” AUXILIARY MUSTARD – The back of Colonel Mustard during a scene of theatrical trickery. AUXILIARY WADSWORTH – Wadsworth during two scenes of theatrical trickery. AN AGENT – An FBI agent who helps to save the day. .

    (Slip Opinion) OCTOBER TERM, 2020 1 Syllabus NOTE: Where it is feasible, a syllabus (headnote) will be released, as is being done in connection with this case, at the time the opinion is issued. The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus BP P. L. C. ET AL. v. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF BALTIMORE CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 19–1189. Argued January 19, 2021—Decided May 17, 2021 Baltimore’s Mayor and City Council (collectively City) sued various en- ergy companies in Maryland state court alleging that the companies concealed the environmental impacts of the fossil fuels they promoted. The defendant companies removed the case to federal court invoking a number of grounds for federal jurisdiction, including the federal officer removal statute, 28 U. S. C. §1442. The City argued that none of the defendants’ various grounds for removal justified retaining federal ju- risdiction, and the district court agreed, issuing an order remanding the case back to state court. Although an order remanding a case to state court is ordinarily unreviewable on appeal, Congress has deter- mined that appellate review is available for those orders “remanding a case to the State court from which it was removed pursuant to section 1442 or 1443 of [Title 28].” §1447(d). The Fourth Circuit read this provision to authorize appellate review only for the part of a remand order deciding the §1442 or §1443 removal ground.

  • The Story of Cluedo & Clue a “Contemporary” Game for Over 60 Years
    The story of Cluedo & Clue A “Contemporary” Game for over 60 Years by Bruce Whitehill The Metro, a free London newspaper, regularly carried a puzzle column called “Enigma.” In 2005, they ran this “What-game-am-I?” riddle: Here’s a game that’s lots of fun, Involving rope, a pipe, a gun, A spanner, knife and candlestick. Accuse a friend and make it stick. The answer was the name of a game that, considering the puzzle’s inclusion in a well- known newspaper, was still very much a part of British popular culture after more than 50 years: “Cluedo,” first published in 1949 in the UK. The game was also published under license to Parker Brothers in the United States the same year, 1949. There it is was known as: Clue What’s in a name? • Cluedo = Clue + Ludo" Ludo is a classic British game -- " a simplified Game of India • Ludo is not played in the U.S. " Instead, Americans play Parcheesi." But “Cluecheesi” doesn’t quite work." So we just stuck with “Clue” I grew up (in New York) playing Clue, and like most other Americans, considered it to be one of America’s classic games. Only decades later did I learn its origin was across the ocean, in Great Britain. Let me take you back to England, 1944. With the Blitz -- the bombing -- and the country emersed in a world war, the people were subject to many hardships, including blackouts and rationing. A forty-one-year-old factory worker in Birmingham was disheartened because the blackouts and the crimp on social activities in England meant he was unable to play his favorite parlor game, called “Murder.” “Murder” was a live-action party game where guests tried to uncover the person in the room who had been secretly assigned the role of murderer.

  • Mixed Logical and Probabilistic Reasoning in the Game of Clue
    406 ICGA Journal 40 (2018) 406–416 DOI 10.3233/ICG-180063 IOS Press Mixed logical and probabilistic reasoning in the game of Clue Todd W. Neller ∗ and Ziqian Luo Department of Computer Science, Gettysburg College, PA, USA Abstract. We describe a means of mixed logical and probabilistic reasoning with knowledge in the popular game Clue. Using pseudo-Boolean constraints we call at-least constraints, we more efficiently represent cardinality constraints on Clue card deal knowledge, perform more general constraint satisfaction in order to determine places where cards provably are or are not, and then employ a WalkSAT-based solution sampling algorithm with a tabu search metaheuristic in order to estimate the probabilities of unknown card places. Finding a tradeoff between WalkSAT-heuristic efficiency in finding solution samples and the sampling bias such a heuristic introduces, we empirically study algorithmic variations in order to learn how such sampling error may be reduced. Keywords: Clue, Cluedo, at-least constraints, cardinality constraints, extended clauses, sampling, logical reasoning, probabilistic reasoning, WalkSAT, tabu search 1. INTRODUCTION Clue®1 is a mystery-themed game of deduction (Fig. 1). The goal of the game is to be the first player to correctly name the contents of a case file: the murder suspect, the weapon used, and the room the murder took place in. There are 6 possible suspects, 6 possible weapons, and 9 possible rooms, each of which are pictured on a card. One card of each type is chosen randomly and placed in a “case file” envelope without being revealed to any player. All other cards are dealt out face-down to the players.

  • Anthony E. Pratt - Inventor of Cluedo
    Anthony E. Pratt - Inventor of Cluedo Pratt was born at 13 Brighton Road, Balsall Heath, Birmingham. He received his secondary education at St. Philip's School in Edgbaston. His favourite subject was chemistry, but he suffered from poor eyesight, which affected his education. Pratt was a gifted musician and a proficient pianist from an early age. When he left school at 15, he wanted to pursue a career in chemistry and was apprenticed to a local chemical manufacturer. But with no formal qualifications in chemistry and a growing interest in music, he went on to pursue a musical career . During the Second World War, Pratt worked in an engineering factory in Birmingham that manufactured components for tanks. Working on a drilling machine, he found the work tedious, but it gave him time to think, including about the ideas behind Cluedo. It was during the Second World War that Pratt had the idea for a murder mystery board game. The idea for Cluedo came from his days spent playing musical concerts in country hotels where part of the evening's entertainment would have been murder mystery games. These would involve both actors and hotel guests playing the characters in a plot which involved the murder of one or more of the guests. The setting was a country house with its many sprawling rooms, with guests gathered for an evening's dining and socialising, but a body was found murdered and all the guests fell under suspicion. By putting clues together, the hotel guests must solve the mystery. These were very popular games at the time, and given this along with Pratt's love of detective fiction including that of his favourites Raymond Chandler and Agatha Christie, the spark for Cluedo was created.
