Gunshots, murder, and dastardly plots; seductive spies, thrilling chases and serious flirtation; they're all part of this rollicking comedy/mystery and Broadway hit. Based on the 1935 classic film by Alfred Hitchcock, "The 39 Steps" follows Richard Hannay as he sets out for a night of music hall entertainment only to be ensnared in a dangerous attempt to smuggle top-secret information out of the country. Accused of murder by Scotland Yard, pursued by enemy agents, and carrying a secret that could save King and country, Hannay must solve the mystery of The 39 Steps in order to acquit himself and stop a war. The cast of four plays over 140 characters, and some inanimate objects, in a 100-minute comedy thriller that's great fun for ages 9 to 90.

"The 39 Steps" cast, directed by John Viars, features Shane Donegan as Richard Hannay, Kellie Kramer as the women, and Micheal Davenport and Joseph E. Smith II.

The Playhouse is Iowa's oldest and largest producing theatre. Located at the 42nd Street exit of I-235, the theatre has presented a full season of shows since 1919 and also offers a wide variety of educational experiences including classes for ages 4 to adult, theatre trips to New York, and volunteer opportunities onstage and backstage.
