by Patrick Barlowe

October 18 - November 15

The Sheldon Vexler Theatre's October/November slot is The 39 Steps by Patrick Barlow, the “absurdly enjoyable and gleefully theatrical riff on Hitchcock's film.” (New York Times) A man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she's a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon, a mysterious organization called "The 39 Steps" is hot on the man's trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale! This 2-time Tony Award-winning treat is packed with nonstop laughs and over 150 zany characters played by a ridiculously talented cast of 4.
