LAKESHORE PLAYERS THEATRE
YOUR COMMUNITY STAGE SINCE 1953!

join us for the comic-mystery extravaganza THE 39 STEPS

January 23 - February 7

“With dozens of characters, breakneck pacing, and comedy that borders on athletic, the show is a non-stop joyride where the thrills are fake, the laughs are real, and the ingenuity is jaw-dropping.”
—The Stages of MN

Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, throw in a dash of Monty Python, and you get The 39 Steps—a fast-paced whodunit bursting with theatrical magic! This award-winning comedy adapted by Patrick Barlow features nonstop laughs, an onstage plane crash, missing fingers, and just the right amount of romance. It’s an unforgettable experience blending high-stakes hilarity and classic mystery.
