The 39 Steps, Broadway’s longest running comedy!
WINNER! 2 Tony and Drama Desk Awards
WINNER! Best New Comedy Laurence Olivier Award
Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have The 39 Steps, a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! This 2-timy tony and Drama Desk Award-winning treat is packed with nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters (played by a ridiculously talented cast of 4), an on-stage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers and some good old –fashioned romance!
In The 39 Steps, a man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she’s a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon, a mysterious organization called, “The 39 Steps” is hot on the man’s trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale! A riotous blend of virtuoso performances and wildly inventive stagecraft, The 39 Steps amounts to an unforgettable evening of pure pleasure.
The amazingly talented cast is comprised of local seasoned actors who have the skills needed to deliver this fast paced comedic satire, including Conner Moroney, Ashley Risteen, Stephen Faria, and James Manclark.
Words from the Director, Tim Diering:
“The play is nothing if not an immense, enormous joyful and truly heartfelt celebration of the magic of the theater. It’s more than a play, or a comedy – it is passionate hallelujah to the theater gods. It is a tribute – in style, concept and execution – to the exuberant spirit of the old summer stocks – where gifted performers banded together to present a play simply because they loved performing. I’ve described this play as a cross between Monty Python, Alfred Hitchcock, and Ringling Brothers. You could also toss in some Marx Brothers, a little Peter Sellers, and perhaps some Steve Martin – and you’d have a pretty good idea of how intensely funny – and entertaining – this play will be.”
