This 2-time Tony® and Drama Desk Award-winning treat is packed with nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters (played by a cast of 4), an on-stage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers and some good old-fashioned romance!

In THE 39 STEPS, 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, THE 39 STEPS amounts to an unforgettable evening of pure pleasure! THE 39 STEPS, was Broadway’s longest running comedy, and played its 500th performance on Broadway, May 19th, 2009!

Performance dates are June 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16 at 8:00 pm, and June 3, 10, 17 at 2:30pm.
