the 39 steps || jan 23 - feb 7, 2026
ADAPTED BY PATRICK BARLOW
FROM THE NOVEL BY JOHN BUCHAN
One step into mystery. Several steps into madness!
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 features nonstop laughs, more than 150 outrageous characters (played by a ridiculously talented cast of four), 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.
