Fast-Paced 39 Steps Offers Non-Stop Guffaws

May 15-19, 2024
Directed by Sean Dyess

Featuring Louie Gallo, Regan Plunkett, Gabe Smith and Ryan Bergman

Mix Hitchcock, a juicy spy novel, and a dash of Monty Python, and you have a fast-paced whodunit packed with nonstop guffaws. Brought to life by one lead hero and a supporting cast of 3 who switch costumes, accents, and responsibilities to play all the other parts, "The 39 Steps" leads audiences through a tangled web of spies and average people caught in their crossfire, an onstage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers, a chase on a moving train, and even some good old-fashioned romance!

Written by Patrick Barlow, adapted from the novel by John Buchan, "The 39 Steps" will be directed by Sean Dyess, with assistance from Jessica Jolly.
