THE 39 STEPS will be directed by Lakewood Playhouse Managing Artistic DirectorJOHN MUNN. John is excited to bringing back the Monty Python Style Comedy he directed in last year's Smash Hit Musical SPAMALOT while also paying homage to one of his very favorite directors - Alfred Hitchcock!
The show consists of ONLY FOUR ACTORS Playing 152 Roles! All four of them are returning actors to the Lakewood Playhouse stage: BRYAN BENDER (The Lion in Winter and The Importance of Being Ernest),DEYA OZBURN (Oliver!, The Children's Hour, The Importance of Being Ernest, The Chronicles of Narnia and The Miracle Worker), PAUL RICHTER (The Children's Hour and Pride & Prejudice) and FRANK ROBERTS (Glengarry Glen Ross).
ABOUT THE SHOW: ?
"3 Men + 1 Woman / 153 Characters = Non-Stop Laughs!"
A RECIPE FOR ZANY COMEDY: Take 1 Part Monty Python and 1 Part "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged" and Mix liberally with Alfred Hitchock's Classic Film Mystery "The 39 Steps!" One Actor plays the Hero, Richard Hannay. One Actress plays the 3 Women that he encounters. Two Clowns play the other 150 Roles! A comedic treat like no other ... with just the right dash of mystery!
A Lakewood Playhouse Premier!!!
Parental Advisory: This Show Contains Scenes of Adventure, Romance, Intrigue, Some Naughty Bits and Things That are, On the Whole, Very Silly. Oh! And Three Gun Shots...We Think.
