The 39 Steps, Kelsey Theatre
Saturday May 2, 2026
2:00 PM
Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have this fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre. Only four actors play more than 150 characters in what becomes a feat of herculean hilarity and hair-pin turns in this two-time Tony Award-winning whodunit. Watch carefully as this show is chock-full of Alfred Hitchcock “Easter Eggs” galore. When a chance encounter with an ill-fated beautiful spy sends Richard Hannay into the bullseye of a dangerous international crime ring it will send our audience on a bullet train-fast comic thrill ride full of plot twists, romance, quick-changes, and laughs delivered at a delightfully dizzying pace. $24/$22 PG
