First Look at "The 39 Steps"

Starring Emily Peterson, Jerry Jay Cranford, Doogin Brown and John Wilson
Rated PG

This is not your typical Hitchcock of Psycho or The Birds (although you may find homages to his classics), rather a zany ride of pure theatrics. Four versatile actors take on the classic spy-thriller by Alfred Hitchcock - The 39 Steps - the challenge: they need to bring 150 characters to life - with only the 4 of them and the props on hand.

3 men and 1 woman tell the entire story of The 39 Steps at a break-neck speed, with minimal sets or costumes. But don't let that fool you; this is a complex and thrilling story with just the right amount of romance! Achieved through fearless engagement with the audience, and a full embracing of theatricality, The 39 Steps is a delightful production that never takes itself too seriously. This is an approach to theatre that says "look, we know we're in a theatre, and we know you're there, so let's just have a good time shall we?" And that is exactly what audiences should expect - a good time!

The New York Times calls The 39 Steps "Absurdly Enjoyable."
