Kicking off our 2024-2025 Season of Laugher … THE 39 STEPS.
It’s Hitchcock meets hilarity! Mix Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have The 39 Steps, a fast-paced frenzy of espionage and murderous mayhem! Thrill as unflappable hero Richard Hannay goes on the run from dangerous spies and femme fatales in an adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat! This two-time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning treat is packed with nonstop laughs as a ridiculously talented cast of four plays 150 zany characters in a riotous homage to the “Master of Suspense.”
WHAT CRITICS SAY ABOUT THE SHOW!
Ingenious! A dizzy delight!"
Daily NewsTheatre at its finest... Absurdly enjoyable! This gleefully theatrical riff on Hitchcock's film is fast and frothy, performed by a cast of four that seems like a cast of thousands. "
