MALIBU PLAYHOUSE ANNOUNCES FIRST SHOW OF 2014-2015 SEASON!

Malibu Playhouse is thrilled to announce that the first show of the 2014-2015 season will be the the Tony and Drama Desk Award-winningTHE 39 STEPS. Written by renowned playwright Patrick Barlow and based on the Alfred Hitchcock classic film, this hilarious whodunit has double-crossing secret agents, death-defying chases, and devastatingly beautiful women. And with only 4 actors portraying more than 130 characters in a fast-paced, uproarious 100 minutes, the show promises to leave you gasping for breath… in a good way!

This brilliantly madcap comic thriller follows our dashing would-be hero Richard Hannay as he races to solve the mystery of the 39 Steps, all the while trying to avoid being framed for murder (and being tossed from a speeding train).

THE 39 STEPS has been seen by over 3 million people in over 39 countries… and soon it will be in our very own backyard at Malibu Playhouse!

Directed by The Second City’s Ron West (trust us, he knows comedy). Produced by Malibu Playhouse’s Claudia Zahn and Rick D. Wasserman.

THE 39 STEPS will have previews October 15th & 16th, and will run October 17th - November 23rd, with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 8PM and Sundays at 3PM. Call (310) 589-1998 now to reserve tickets, because they are sure to be flying out of the Box Office like hot cakes… if hot cakes could fly. (You know what we mean).

All actors who wish to audition should send a headshot/resume to [email protected] Auditions will be held in Malibu on August 20th & 21st, and in Hollywood on August 22nd. Callbacks are August 24th in Malibu. Sides will be provided. Rehearsals are September 15th - October 16th.

Malibu Playhouse will be announcing plans for the rest of the season soon. Also, be sure to keep your eyes and ears open for news of a fun Open House party for the whole family.
