THE 39 STEPS
MARCH 22, 2014
Lakewood Theatre Company will be having open auditions on
SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 2014 for the casting of Patrick Barlow's comical adaptation of
The 39 Steps, a fast-paced, often hilariously irreverent theatrical re-creation of Alfred Hitchcock's classic mystery thriller film of 1935. Call
503-635-3901 to reserve an audition slot.
The director, Don Alder, is seeking four actors to play nearly 150 roles. Needed: 1 women (20s-30s) and 3 men (ages 20-50). Performers of all ethnic and racial backgrounds are encouraged to audition. All roles require English and/or European accents. All roles receive remuneration.
Audition Location: Lakewood Theatre Company at Lakewood Center for the Arts, 368 S. State Street in Lake Oswego.
Materials Needed: Please bring a resume and an 8X10 glossy photo. Auditions will consist of readings from the script. Callbacks, if needed, will be at the director's discretion. For more information and role breakdown, see Lakewood's website at

Performance Schedule: The 39 Steps opens July 11, 2014 and continues through August 17, 2014. Performances are Thurs. - Sat. at 7:30 PM, some Sundays at 7:00 PM, some Sunday matinees at 2:00 PM and two Wednesday performances at 7:30 PM. Lakewood Theatre Company features an intimate 220-seat theatre located at Lakewood Center for the Arts, 368 S. State Street in Lake Oswego.
The story: 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! A riotous blend of virtuoso performances and wildly inventive stagecraft. It is the winner of 2 Tony and Drama Desk Awards in 2008 and winner of Best New Comedy - Laurence Olivier Award in 2007. The play, adapted by Patrick Barlow, is based on the John Buchan novel and the Alfred Hitchcock movie of the same name.
