Audition Notice: 

The 39 Steps
Adapted by Patrick Barlow, From a Novel by John Buchan
Directed by Robert Gibb

Auditions: Monday, June 26 and Wednesday, June 28, 2023 at 7 pm

Show Dates:  September 15 - October 8, 2023 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 2pm

Story:  Combine a film masterpiece by Alfred Hitchcock with a juicy spy novel and add a large splash of zany, over-the-top theatrics. The result? A fast-paced whodunit with four versatile actors portraying more than 50 roles!

London, 1935. The rather dull Richard Hannay encounters a woman who claims to be a spy. When she is suddenly murdered, Richard finds himself the focus of a nationwide manhunt led by a mysterious organization called “The 39 Steps.”

Characters: All the roles in the play are performed by four actors.

One plays Richard Hannay: this role has been cast.

One female plays the three women in the play: Annabella Schmidt, an exotic German secret agent; Pamela, a beautiful English woman; and Margaret, a Scottish farmer’s young wife.

And two “clowns” play every other character, including heroes, villains, men, women, children, and even the occasional inanimate object.
