Nikki Simons, Brandon Arender, Christopher Gill, and Glenn Williams will be the four actors portraying all the characters in 39 Steps.

Friday and Saturday June 9th and 10th, and again on June 16th and 17th, Strauss Theatre Center is presenting its dinner theater, 'The 39 Steps'. This play, a spoof on an Alfred Hitchcock spy thriller, follows the journey of one man on a crazy adventure. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. and the play begins at 6:30 p.m.

This fast paced play begins with a murder and then follows a fugitive from Britain to Scotland. There will be iconic scenes, spies, chases, and escapes in this comedy. One of the notable parts of the dinner theater will be that four actors will play twenty-five parts. 

The dinner will be catered by Chef Pat Nolan and will include food of the time such as steak pie, mashed potatoes and gravy, and strawberry shortcake. There will also be complimentary wine and beer for the dinner guests. 

Tickets for the play and more information on all that is going on at the Strauss Theatre Center are available here.
