Sally Struthers is Mrs. Peacock In Clue: On Stage

Sally Struthers

Bucks County Playhouse will produce the world premiere production of Clue: On Stage, the outrageous new comedy adapted from the cult classic film.  Performances begin May 2, 2017 with an official press opening on Saturday, May 6. Clue: On Stage is based on the screenplay by Jonathan Lynn with additional material by Eric Price and Hunter Foster. It is being produced at Bucks County Playhouse by special arrangement with The Araca Group, Work Light Productions, Michael Barra Productions and Aged in Wood Productions. 

On a dark and stormy night, six unique guests, plus a butler and a maid, assemble for a dinner party at the home of Mr. Boddy. When their host turns up dead, it is clear that no one is safe! Soon the guests are racing to find the killer and keep the body count from stacking up. “Clue” is the comedy whodunit that will keep you guessing (and laughing) to the very end.

The cast features two-time Emmy winner and Golden Globe Award Winner Sally Struthers as Mrs. Peacock. Struthers is probably best known for her role as Gloria in the groundbreaking TV series “All in the Family.” She has also starred in the Fox television series “9 to 5” and her own CBS series “Gloria” as well as recurred on the CBS comedy “Still Standing” and the CW network’s highly acclaimed “Gilmore Girls.” Struthers recently rejoined the Gilmore cast for Netflix’s four-movie limited revival, which premiered last fall, and recently guest starred in the acclaimed IFC comedy series “Maron.”
