(RIVERSIDE, NJ) -- Masquerade Theatre presents The 39 Steps weekends from December 4-19, 2026. Based on the 1915 novel of the same name by John Buchan, The 39 Steps follows a man with a terribly boring life who meets a woman with a thick accent.
She 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! A bit of James Bond, a dash of Hitchcock dramatics, and a sprinkling of Monty Python makes this hilarious, fast-paced whodunit!
The production is Directed by Megan Knowlton Balne and Courtney Bundens and stars Greg Hedler (Richard Hannay), Jamie Lynne Hill (Annabella / Pamela / Margaret), Stephanie Hofstetter (Clown 2), and Jake Hufner (Clown 1).
Performances take place Friday, December 4th @ 8:00pm; Saturday, December 5th @ 8:00pm; *Sunday, December 6th @ 2:00pm; *Thursday, December 10th @ 7:30pm; Friday, December 11th @ 8:00pm; Saturday, December 12th @ 8:00pm; Sunday, December 13th @ 2:00pm; *Thursday, December 17th @ 7:30pm; Friday, December 18th @ 8:00pm; and Saturday, December 19th @ 2:00pm & 8:00pm.
