An ordinary man is flung into extraordinary circumstances when a female spy is murdered in his London flat. With a team of killers on his trail, Richard Hannay is tracked across England and Scotland, defying death in one seemingly inescapable scrape after another — including romance!
Auditions for the upcoming Community Player’s of Concord performance will be held on Sunday, Nov. 27, from 1 to 4 p.m and Monday, Nov. 28 at 6:30 p.m The show dates are Feb. 17 to 19, 2023.
The 39 Steps is written for four actors only one of whom, the apparent protagonist, remains in a single role throughout. One other plays three roles, and the remaining two account for more than 100 separate characters, changing identities and costumes at blinding speed throughout the show.
The auditions will consist entirely of reading from the script in small groups. Speed, accuracy, and variety are prime considerations. Email director Kevin Gardner (kevin1-87z3nnw@myfairpoint.net) with questions.
Acting (and experienced) co-producer Wayland Bunnell is seeking to build a team of 3 or four producers for this show. There is an existing step-by-step task list which, when split up, makes the load lighter for the producers on that team. If interested, just contact Wayland Bunnell (wtarrytown@aol.com).
