Fall Play "The 39 Steps" to Premier November 11th & 12th

Four-year senior Torre Davy ’17 plays our suave hero Richard Hannay who learns from a beautiful spy about a plot of international espionage. The woman is killed in Hannay's flat and he suddenly finds himself caught up in a race from London to Scotland in hopes of stopping military secrets from being smuggled out of the country. As he searches for the secret of "The 39 Steps" he is doggedly pursued by the police who believe he is a murderer. The cast includes two other four-year seniors, Sarah Snow and Emma Wellington. Four-year senior Kacenka Farr-Williams serves as Stage Manager.

 

Also appearing in the show is three-year senior Leo Liang. Joining Torre, Sarah, Leo, and Emma onstage are Evan Dell ’20, Ilyana Fornes ’20, Alyxandra Huckaby ’19, Gwendolyn Liu ’20, Olivia McLean ’19, Karina Nguyen ’18, Mairead Ryan ’18, Ruby Schechter ’19, Elliot Sezalory ’18, Sophia Tsekov ’20, and Maggie-Molloy VanDyne ’19.

 

Performing Arts Director Joe Sampson directs and says the play is full of fun and suspense, and he’s very impressed with his young cast’s ability to find the right tone in this cheesy homage to old cinema. Technical Director Meredith C. Brown designs sets and lights.
