WICHITA STATE UNIVERSITY
SCHOOL OF PERFORMING ARTS THEATRE PROGRAM
The 39 Steps is a farcical thriller that combines Alfred Hitchcock's 'wrong man', beautiful unattainable women, eccentric professors, thugs, traveling salesmen, train chases, plane crashes, London bridges, Scottish moors, multiple characters presented by a company of 4 actors and old fashioned theatrical devices into a rousing, exhilarating, stimulating, breath-taking theatrical adventure of a lifetime.
This 2-time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning show is the perfect Halloween treat.
The 39 Steps runs October 27-29 @ 7:30 pm & October 30 @ 2:00 pm. Tickets are $10.00 General Public, $8.00 Military, Sr. Citizens, Faculty & Staff, & $6.00 Students.

"Find something to do, you bloody fool! Something mindless and trivial. Something utterly pointless...
A visit to the theatre! That should do the trick!" ~ Richard Hannay, The 39 Steps
