David Gautschy to Lead WPPAC's THE 39 STEPS; Full Cast Announced

The White Plains Performing Arts Center (WPPAC) is proud to announce the cast of THE 39 STEPS.

Combining a spy thriller with farcical comedy and ingenious theatrical invention, THE 39 STEPS is an engaging, fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theater. Closely following the storyline of Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 film, the play features more than 150 characters brought to life by a cast of just five actors, including David Gautschy as the intrepid hero Richard Hannay; Natasha Nightingale as all female roles (including a beautiful spy with a deadly secret); with DJ Petrosino, Ari Lew and Kate Dickinson all putting their many sidesplitting skills to the test in this wildly entertaining experience.

THE 39 STEPS is adapted by Patrick Barlow, from the novel by John Buchan, from the movie by Alfred Hitchcock and an original concept by Nobby Dimon and Simon Corble.

This production is directed by David Murray Jaffe (director of WPPAC's production of THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST).

Winner of two 2008 Tony and Drama Desk Awards , THE 39 STEPS will play the White Plains Performing Arts Center October 11-3, 17-20 & 24-27 (Thursday, Friday & Saturday at 8pm; Sunday at 2pm; *10/24 at 2pm) Tickets are $37.50 Adults; $25 High School & Younger.

All performances are at the White Plains theatre, located on the third level of City Center off Mamaroneck Avenue in downtown White Plains.
