"THE 39 STEPS" PERFORMANCE
The Take Two Drama Club of Sussex Central High School is performing “The 39 Steps” by special permission of Concord Theatricals and Samuel French. Sussex Central High School drama instructor David Warick says the play is a "madcap version" of the famous Hitchcock spy thriller.
“The trick here is that the authors have the entire movie played on stage by only four actors," Warick says. "The craziness of that few people playing that many parts makes the play really funny and entertaining.”
Showtimes are Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 2 and 7 p.m. Click here to buy tickets.
