DreamWrights Center For Community Arts Presents THE 39 STEPS

DreamWrights Center for Community Arts presents the thrilling and hysterical who-dun-it mystery comedy The 39 Steps. On stage for just one weekend, opening on October 28th through the 30th - this is one Halloween treat not to pass on.

Adapted for the stage by Patrick Barlow, from the 1915 novel by John Buchan and the 1935 film by Alfred Hitchcock, this zany, energetic show is sure to delight film and theatre enthusiasts alike. A two-time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning treat packed with nonstop laughs, eccentric characters, an onstage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers, and some good old-fashioned romance. The 39 Steps is a riotous blend of virtuoso performances and wildly inventive stagecraft, amounting to an unforgettable evening of pure pleasure!

Starring Matt Setzer as Richard Hannay, Elise Lanteigne-Marrow as Pamela, Hannah Kuhn playing the roles of both Margaret and Annabella, Rodd Robertson as Clown #1, Becky Marcus as Clown #2, and featuring appearances by James Manjo and Rio Gonzalez. This production is directed by Jay Schmuck, with Jayme Smith as Production Stage Manager, Sound Design by Enzo Messina, Lighting Design by Westley Smith, Costume Design by Izzy Masquelier with assistance by Elise Lanteigne-Marrow and Chloe Miller, and Scenic Design by Jacob Walton.

There will be a mini Film Fest of two shorts to bookend the run of "The 39 Steps". A world premiere screening of GHOST LIGHT, a short film written and starring students of the "Making a Thriller" Summer Camp at DreamWrights, and the Award Winning short thriller, HENRY, by Jay Gould.
