Clue

Sandy Rustin

January 9, 2026 - February 1, 2026

It’s a dark and stormy night, and you’ve been invited to a very unusual dinner party. Each of the guests has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons, and the host is, well, dead. So whodunit? Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock, and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up. Based on the cult classic film and the popular board game, CLUE is a madcap comedy that will keep you guessing until the final twist.

This production of CLUE is sponsored by the Donald D Mateer Foundation (family of Chris Dowhan-Bailey).

The performance lasts approximately 90 minutes with no intermission.

How We Got On

Idris Goodwin

March 13, 2026 - April 4, 2026

Hank, Julian, and Luann are three talented, determined suburban teens coming of age in the 1980s. Dreaming of fame and fortune in the new Hip-Hop music scene, they must overcome cultural isolation, familial dysfunction, and ruthless rivalries to make the music that defines their lives. Spoken word poet and hip-hop playwright Idris Goodwin gives us an inspiring, theatrical mix tape about how we become the people we’re meant to be, flowing and rhyming our way to adulthood.

The performance lasts approximately 90 minutes with no intermission.

Lettice and Lovage

Peter Shaffer

May 8, 2026 - May 31, 2026

A riotous comedy! Lettice Duffet is an indefatigable but daffy enthusiast of history and the theatre. As a tour guide at one of the least stately of London’s stately homes, she theatrically embellishes its historical past. Lotte Schon, a stoic inspector from the Preservation Trust, is neither impressed nor entertained by Lettice’s freewheeling history lessons. What follows is a battle to the death of all that is sacred to the Empire and the crown.

Ticketing and seating policies:

GENERAL ADMISSION – Because our seating configuration changes with each show, we do not sell specific seats. While our patrons are generally friendly and often willing to shift down to make a pair out of two orphan seats in the same row, there may be no easy way to get you together if we are sold out and the empty seats are spread throughout the theatre. Our lobby opens one hour before showtime, and the theatre opens 30 minutes before showtime. Come early, pick your seats, and relax.

NO CALL/NO SHOW POLICY – You will forfeit your tickets at curtain time if you have not called the box office (734 288-7753) to let us know you are running late. Unclaimed tickets cannot be refunded or exchanged for a different performance.

LATE ARRIVALS will be seated at the discretion of the house manager (call to let us know you are late. If you don’t call, your seats may be sold to someone who is waiting).

ACCESSIBILITY – Our building is ADA compliant and completely handicapped accessible. Please let our box office staff know ahead of time if you need handicapped seating. Our chairs are removable and can allow for you to stay in a wheelchair, if desired, but we’ll need to reserve you a seat on the floor in order to do this.

PLEASE DON’T WEAR STRONG SCENTS to the theatre, as a courtesy to the other patrons.

CAMERAS AND RECORDING DEVICES – The taking of photographs and making of recordings during the performance is strictly prohibited. We encourage you to take photos in the lobby and check in on social media prior to the performance or during intermission.

NO REFUNDS

EXCHANGES – tickets CAN be transferred or exchanged up to one hour before your scheduled performance, subject to availability. Call the Box Office (734 288-7753) for more information. Tickets can also be exchanged online via the link on your confirmation email.

RESERVED (but unpaid) TICKET POLICY -if you haven’t paid for your tickets 15 minutes before curtain, and we have people waiting… we will release them and sell them to someone who is waiting. (This can be avoided by paying in advance by phone or credit card. If your ticket has been paid for we will not release it until show time, as listed above under our NO CALL/NO SHOW policy).

UPDATED MASK POLICY – We no longer require the wearing of masks.  Policy subject to change. 

“Open Book Theatre Company is a class act from start to finish, and the shows they produce are of the highest quality.”
