Gardner-Webb Theatre Presents ‘The 39 Steps’ on Sept. 26-29 in Dover Theatre

A Fast-Paced Whodunit, The Play Features Four Actors Playing Many Roles

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—Gardner-Webb University Theatre’s first production of the season is “The 39 Steps.” This play was adapted by Patrick Barlow from the novel by John Buchan and the movie by Alfred Hitchcock. The GWU actors will present this fast-paced whodunit on Sept. 26-28 at 7:30 p.m. and Sept. 29 at 2:30 p.m. in Dover Theatre.

A two-time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning play, “The 39 Steps” is packed with nonstop laughs, a lot of zany characters (played by a cast of four), along with planes, trains, automobiles, and some good old-fashioned romance.

Tickets are free for GWU faculty/staff/students; $10 for adults; $5 for other students, seniors and veterans.

Auxiliary aids will be made available to persons with disabilities upon request 10 working days prior to the event.  Please call 704-406-4270 or email [email protected] with your request.
