American Heartland Theatre Presents THE 39 STEPS 5/6-6/19

Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spynovel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have The 39 Steps, a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! This 2-time Tony Award-winning treat is packed with nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters (played by a ridiculously talented cast of 4 actors), an on-stage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers and some good old-fashioned romance! Richard Hannay's life turns upside down when he meets a woman with a thick accent who says she's a spy; he takes her home with him - where she meets an untimely death. Soon, a mysterious organization called "The 39 Steps" is hot on Richard's trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale! A riotous blend of virtuoso performances and wildly inventive stagecraft, The 39 Steps amounts to an unforgettable evening of pure pleasure!
