THE 39 STEPS


Sept. 10-27, 2026 - Previews Sept. 9 & 10

Comedy (Rated: V)

Adapted by Patrick Barlow
From the Novel by John Buchan

A Hitchcock thriller smashed together with Monty Python style absurdity. This fast, clever romp features nonstop laughs and over 150 characters played by just four actors, an onstage plane crash, handcuffs, espionage, and a dash of old-fashioned romance.
