"The 39 Steps" is the hilarious comedy spoof based on Alfred Hitchcock's movie, "The 39 Steps," and adapted for the stage by Patrick Barton, and written by John Buchan. The play is winner of two Tony Awards in 2008. The Roundabout Broadway production won the 2008 Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience and Outstanding Lighting Design and was also the winner of Best New Comedy-Laurence Olivier Award in 2007.
The CCC alumni theatre cast includes professional actor and Blue Man Group member from Chicago, Nick Rush, as Richard Hannay, Sarah Rush as Annabella Schmidt/Pamela/Margaret, Scott Hooker as Clown 1 and Zac Freisberg as Clown 2. Hannah Carter is the stage manager and the production is being directed by Mark Frank.
The play's concept calls for the entirety of the 1935 adventure film "The 39 Steps" to be performed with a cast of only four. One actor plays the hero, Richard Hannay, an actress (or sometimes actor) plays the three women with whom he has romantic entanglements, and two other actors play every other character in the show: heroes, villains, men, women, children and even the occasional inanimate object.
