Payton Players Presents
The 39 Steps

On Stage Now!

Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have The 39 Steps, a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! Join Payton Players for an evening of nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters (played by a ridiculously talented ensemble), an onstage plane crash, a train chase, missing fingers, and some good old-fashioned romance!

The 39 Steps is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
