Los Ba&#241;os High School's most anticipated production is a week away from opening night. And there's only three questions one must ask upon entering the campus multi-purpose room: Who done it? With what? And where?</p><p>The Los Ba&#241;os Performing Arts Group has been working on its version of "Clue" since late November, after holding its first play of the year, "The Star-Spangled Girl."</p><p>"Clue" is a change of pace for the high school's regular actors. There are more than five times the cast members than in "The Star-Spangled Girl," there are also going to be three different endings to the production, and the play has been scripted from the popular board game. Aside from the lines, everything else (props, stage directions, actions, depth of character) has been created and developed by the cast members.</p><p>"I've never worked on a set this intense, this fast-paced," Shea King, a 12th-grader and cast member said.</p><p>Marissa Menezes, also a 12th-grader and cast member, agreed and said embellishing the script was a collabrative effort.</p><p>"We all contributed to it," Menezes said.</p><p>"Clue" will be held at the high school the first three weekends on March, opening night is set for March 5 at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the door, as well as at the high school.</p><p>Matthew Sanchez, also a senior and cast member, said while he's enjoyed working with his peers and developing the script into something everyone can enjoy, the most challenging part has been being prepared, emotionally, mentally and physically to take on the production.</p><p>Students spend four hours a day during the week rehearsing, in addition to the weekends, Sanchez said.</p><p>It's obvious to cast members though, they said, that "Clue" is something everyone on campus and in the community will enjoy.</p><p>"You'll enjoy it if you're into slap-stick stuff," Menezes said.</p><p>Sanchez agreed and said "there's verbal and physical humor."</p><p>King added that everything is covered - dry humor, black comedy, and everything in between.</p><p>And because of the three different endings, repeat audience members won't know which play they'll see.</p><p>"It's a different show every time," King said.</p><p>As far as building cast members' own version of the characters, Zack Miranda, also a senior, said students stayed away from previous performances.</p><p>"Even though it's popular, you don't see the same characters. It's the same name, but not the same character," Miranda said. "It's something fresh."</p><p>Jessica Paratore, an 11th-grader, said "Clue" is her first production at the high school and she's enjoyed everything thus far.</p><p>"It's fun being here with your friends. You want to come to practice," Paratore said. "I'm excited."</p><p>Menezes agreed.</p><p>"It's our senior year and we're going out with a bang. It's the most fun I've ever had on set," she said.</p><p>King said what's also interesting about the group's second performance of the year is that cast members are seeing an overwhelming interest from the student body, something they don't usually see.</p><p>"When we did "The Star-Spangled Girl," everyone kept asking, 'When's Clue? Are you guys doing Clue?'," Paratore said.</p><p>The enthusiasm is welcomed, cast members said. They're excited to be producing, performing and showing Los Ba&#241;os how hard work and passion come together in one of the most fun mysteries of all time.</p><p>Enterprise reporter </p><p>Samantha Salas can be reached by phone at (209)388-6562 or by e-mail at ssalas@losbanosenterprise.com
