Theatre Tuscaloosa has announced its 2026-27 season opener, a production of the comedy “Clue,” scheduled to run from September 25 to October 4 at the Bean-Brown Theatre on the Martin Campus of Shelton State Community College. Directed by Executive Producer Michael Walker, the production will feature a cast of returning performers and all-star members, utilizing body microphones for the first time to enhance audio clarity.
