SUMMARY:The 39 Steps
DESCRIPTION:The 39 Steps brings Hitchcock to life with Comedy Flair and\nEccentric Style\nProducing theater company Flashback Theater Co. (FbTC) invites you on the adventure of\na lifetime with The 39 Steps adapted for the stage by Patrick Barlow from the novel by John\nBuchan; the source material for Alfred Hitchcok’s iconic 1935 british spy thriller of the same\nname. However\, this adaptation is not your grandmother’s 39 Steps; taking inspiration from the\ncomedy stylings of acts like Monty Python and Mel Brooks\, four actors\, under the direction of the\nfabulous local artist Jade Ellis\, will take on over 150 characters to give you a theatrical experience\nlike no other! Featuring action\, adventure\, an onstage plane crash\, handcuffs\, missing fi ngers…and\nsome good old-fashioned romance! A winner of two Tony awards as well as a Drama Desk Award\,\nThe 39 Steps will run Dec. 7-17 at the Flashback Theater Co. Black Box Theater.\nJade Ellis\, a Flashback mainstay and owner of popular local boutique A Bazaar Universe\,\ndiscusses her approach to comedy\, “(I’m approaching it) From every direction and dimension I\ncan.” She adds that she was drawn to the show for its contrast to the production of A Miracle on\n34th Street she directed last December: “I wanted to do something fun. I wanted to do something\nwith a small cast. I wanted to do something that involves a lot of creativity for everyone involved\nin the process. I love the opportunities for creativity that the show provides and I love laughing\nwhile I’m working and working while I’m laughing.” Those who know Jade are familiar with the\nartists unique style\, which audiences can look forward to seeing live on stage: “my touch is so\nunique and my styles are so personally mine\, when I put my heart into something\, that work is\ngoing to be so infused with both\, that’s just how it works. “\nJade Ellis (Director) directs her fi fth mainstage show after the success of Miracle on 34th Street\,\nThe Mousetrap\, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead!\, and Miss Bennet: Christmas at\nPemberley. Prior to directing Ellis had appeared on FbTC and SCC stages for many years.\nBeginning in a London Theatre\, The 39 Steps follows Richard Hannay (Brian Herrmann)\, who\nfi nds himself suddenly thrust into the position of a convicted murderer after he takes in a spy in\nthe midst of a conspiracy. With her dying breath\, Annabelle (Jenny Denney\, who also plays Pamela\nand Margaret) warns Hannay that he must take to Scotland to stop a secret organization\, known\nas The 39 Steps\, before it’s too late. With nowhere to turn and in bad need of an alibi\, Hannay \ntakes off on a national tour to solve the mystery\, prove his innocence\, escape the clutches of The\n39 Steps\, and get the girl!\nBrian Herrmann (Richard Hannay)\nOne summer and one job later\, Brian is eager to return to the stage! As a fan of both Monty\nPython and Mel Brooks\, he hopes you’ll enjoy The 39 Steps as much as he does. Previous\nFlashback appearances include The American Parade and As You Like It.\nJenny Denney (Annabelle/Pamela/Margaret)\nJenny is the director of choir and theater at Southwestern High School. She made her FbTC debut\nin the spring of 2022\, playing Clopas in Mary: Her Story. Most recently\, she performed in\nFlashback’s Fall Fringe Show The Thin Place (Hilda)\, and last spring’s musical production of\nSweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Johanna). She is thrilled to be on stage in\nseveral productions this current season.\nAlong Hannay’s journey\, he encounters zany local characters and mystery men\, played by two\nenigmatic clowns: Billy Christopher Maupin and Kailyn Ball. These actors will stun you with their\npreternatural ability to shapeshift before your very eyes…from postmen to policemen to milkmen\nto international supervillains and everything else in between. As well as having the acting chops to\ntake on a dizzying array of characters\, these actors have unparalleled comedic prowess!\nBilly Christopher Maupin (Clown #1)\nPrevious work with FbTC: Sweeney Todd\, The Mousetrap\, All Together Now!
