Photo Flash: It's Hitchcock for the Holidays at Mile Square Theatre with THE 39 STEPS

Mile Square Theatre, Hudson County's leading professional theatre, closes its 2017 season with a rollicking send up of Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller, The 39 Steps. Just in time for the holidays, Patrick Barlow's adaptation is a fast-paced comic romp that turns the classic Hitchcock's masterpiece into an evening of pure comic joy that will be a welcome treat for audiences of all ages.

"We are so excited to produce The 39 Steps this holiday season," says MST Artistic Director Chris O'Connor. "We wanted to present a show that would delight everybody, and this show fits the bill. It's no exaggeration that our director, Mark Shanahan, is probably the best person in America to direct it, too. He was in it on Broadway, and has directed many regional theatre productions, including Houston's Alley Theatre's recent hit. Mark has an amazing knack for this type of comedy, and we've assembled a stellar cast."

The 39 Steps begins performances on November 30 and runs till December 23.

The cast includes Joe Delafield (Tartuffe on Broadway), Helen Hayes Award Winner Zachary Fine, Evan Zes (Signature Theatre's Incident at Vichy), and Hoboken's Alycia Kunkle.

The creative team includes scenic designer Charlie Corcoran (Ma Rainey's Black Bottom at Two Rivers Theatre), MST resident costume designer Peter Fogel (Betrayal), lighting designer Jason Flamos (Betrayal), and original sound design by Ryan Rumery (Fool for Love on Broadway).
