Non-Equity | Paid | Immersive Theatre
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Casting fearless comedic performers who love improvisation, immersive theatre and making audiences laugh. This fast-paced interactive comedy keeps actors on their feet all night, blending scripted scenes with audience interaction in the world of Clue.
From the creators of “The Magicians Table” and “Clue: A Walking Mystery” comes “Clue: Murder on the Menu,” a one-of-a-kind, fully immersive murder mystery dinner where guests don’t just watch the story, they become part of the investigation.
Set inside the iconic world of Clue, this fast-paced comedic experience combines dinner, live theatre, improvisation and interactive gameplay as audiences interrogate suspects, solve puzzles and race to uncover the killer.
This production is highly immersive. Performers remain in character throughout the evening, frequently interacting directly with guests, improvising around audience responses and moving throughout the venue.
Performers should be comfortable: Working in immersive theatre; speaking with audience members one-on-one and in groups; improvising while maintaining character; delivering fast-paced comedy; collaborating closely as an ensemble; experience in immersive theatre, comedy, improv, theme park performance or murder mystery entertainment is strongly encouraged but not required.

SEEKING
SOLICITOR PEACOCK
Ideally Latina. Female-presenting. 30–60s.
A razor-sharp criminal defense attorney with absolutely no moral filter. Brilliant, intimidating, flamboyant and hilariously unapologetic. Peacock possesses the confidence of someone who always believes they’re the smartest person in the room. Delivers biting one-liners, relishes verbal sparring and treats every interaction like a courtroom cross-examination. The role demands impeccable comic timing and fearless audience engagement.
Seeking a commanding comedic performer with exceptional improvisational skills and strong presence.
PROFESSOR PLUM
Ideally African American. Male-presenting. 30–50s.
An eccentric academic whose confidence vastly exceeds his common sense. Equal parts intellectual, flirtatious and completely ridiculous, Plum can launch into scholarly brilliance one moment before fainting at the sight of blood the next. A gifted physical comedian with rapid-fire wit who plays the absurdity with complete sincerity.
Strong physical comedy, improvisation, and character work required.
COLONEL MUSTARD
Any ethnicity. Male-presenting. 40–60s.
A gruff former military officer convinced he remains the toughest person alive. Blunt, bombastic and proudly old-fashioned, Mustard approaches every situation with absolute confidence—even when he’s spectacularly wrong. A lovable blowhard with impeccable deadpan delivery and excellent comic instincts.
Seeking an actor with strong comic authority and improvisational confidence.
MAYOR GREEN
Ideally Asian. Male-presenting. 30–50s.
A slick politician who believes every room is a campaign stop. Charismatic, endlessly optimistic and slightly slippery, Green is always selling something—even during a murder investigation. Equal parts politician, salesman and opportunist, he thrives on audience interaction and quick improvisation.
Strong improviser with natural charisma and excellent audience engagement skills.
MISS SCARLETT
Ideally African American. Female-presenting. 20s–40s.
A sharp-tongued journalist who never misses an opportunity for a headline. Fearless, witty and effortlessly cool, Scarlett is often the smartest person in the room and certainly knows it. She cuts through nonsense with biting sarcasm while constantly chasing the next great story. Fast-thinking, confident and highly interactive with audiences.
Seeking an actor with razor-sharp comedic timing, confidence, and strong improvisational ability.
This production is highly immersive. Performers remain in character throughout the evening, frequently interacting directly with guests, improvising around audience responses and moving throughout the venue. Performers should be comfortable:
- Working in immersive theatre
