Falcon Theater Presents Regional Premiere of THE 39 STEPS
What do you get when you combine four talented actors, every Alfred Hitchcock film, a touch of Monty Python and shadow puppets? Patrick Barlow’s The 39 Steps, performed for the first time by a local theater company at Falcon Theater. A hit on both Broadway and the West End, The 39 Steps takes the audience to 1935 London, on a train trip to Edinburgh, and all points in between. In a personal interview (conducted by director and Alecia Lewkowich on June 24, 2011) Barlow explained how the adaptation came about:
“Two writers had written a version of John Buchan’s book. I was approached by a producer to be in it. To play Hannay in it. I looked at that script and I thought it was okay but it wasn’t good enough, so I said I would rather adapt this. Then I went and look at the film and I thought how brilliant the film was and how brilliant to actually adapt the film to the stage rather than the book. And I got the go ahead and he got the rights.”
Adapted from the 1935 Alfred Hitchcock film, which was based on on John Buchanan’s novel, The 39 Steps takes iconic scenes– the train chase, the Palladium– and recreates them with the power of four talented actors.
Director Alecia Lewkowich has assembled a talented cast, many of whom are familiar to Falcon patrons: Falcon veteran actor and director Dan Doerger (The Rocky Horror Show, Debbie Does Dallas, Hair, Down The Road) takes the role of Hannay, the unwitting victim of circumstance who find himself wrapped up in a world of intrigue and deception. Elizabeth Molloy, a familiar face at the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts and others, makes her Falcon debut taking on all 3 female roles for this show. Sharing all the other roles in the play are Mike Hall and Donnie McGovern who between them play 40 other roles.
The 39 Steps runs Fridays and Saturdays, February 10-25, 2012 at 8 p.m. at the Monmouth Theater in Newport, Kentucky. Tickets ($17, $15 for students) may be purchased by calling 513.479.6783 or by visiting http://www.falcontheater.net. Check in on the Yelp app on your smart phone for a special offer.
Falcon Theater is proud to have Yelp as their season sponsor, and featured sponsor for The 39 Steps.

(CINCINNATI, JAN. 25, 2012)– The League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) has recognized Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center’s production of The King and I in Concert, produced in collaboration with the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra, with three awards. Panelists praised cast members Ronn K. Smith, Lee Merrill and Teresa De Zarn for their performances.
Merrill portrays Anna Leonowens, a British schoolteacher hired by the King of Siam (Smith) to educate his children. As time passes, the two overcome their collision of cultures and traditions to develop a deep friendship and, ultimately, unspoken love. The original production of this Rodgers and Hammerstein classic, which features songs including “Whistle a Happy Tune,” “Shall We Dance” and “Getting to Know You,” earned five Tony Awards, including one for Best Musical.
Merrill and Smith received recognition, respectively, as leading actress and actor in a musical. According to one panelist, “Both performers were strong, believable and had wonderful chemistry with each other.”
De Zarn also was singled out with an award for featured actress in a musical for her portrayal of Lady Thiang. “Her song ‘Something Wonderful’ was truly something wonderful,” said one panelist. “She has an excellent and clear voice but she ‘acted’ the song to a level of poignancy that I rarely experience.”
The King and I in Concert continues weekends through Jan. 29. Details and ticket information can be found at http://www.thecarnegie.com.
The League of Cincinnati Theatres was founded in 1999 to strengthen, nurture and promote Cincinnati’s theatre community. LCT provides its member companies and individual members with education, resources and services to enhance the quality and exposure of the theatre community in Cincinnati and increase community awareness, attendance and involvement.
