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, “The 39 Steps,” will be rescheduled, will be presented Oct. 4 at 7:30 p.m. in Dover Theatre. This play was adapted by Patrick Barlow from the novel by John Buchan and the movie by Alfred Hitchcock.

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.
