Savannah Rep has announced full casting for their production of The 39 Steps opening this week. Jordan J. Jones (Richard Hannay), Francesca Mintowt-Czyz (Annabella/Pamela/Margaret), Justice von Maur (Clown), and Nathan Houseman (Clown) will lead this ensemble-driven comedy drama which has delighted audiences both On and Off-Broadway as well as in London’s West End. Meagan English and Travis Spangenburg are the production’s understudies. The 39 Steps is directed by Savannah Rep Founders’ Award recipient Karla Knudsen and will open on Friday, May 19th after a May 18th preview and run through May 28th. The Thursday, May 25th performance will be Pay What You Like at the door.

In this thrillingly theatrical evening, a man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she’s a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon, a mysterious organization called “The 39 Steps” is hot on the man’s trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale! This riotous blend of virtuoso performances and wildly inventive stagecraft must be seen to be believed.

The 39 Steps will be performed at Jenkins Hall at Georgia Southern University - Armstrong Campus (11935 Abercorn Street). Performances are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 8 PM, and Sunday at 3 PM. General Admission is $40 and Senior/Military tickets are $35. Tickets are now on sale at http://savannahrep.org.
