MARSHFIELD – Described as Alfred Hitchcock meets Monty Python, fans of murder mystery films and surreal comedy will enjoy the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point at Marshfield’s production of “The 39 Steps.”

The 39 Steps is a comedy spoof on Hollywood’s 1930s “whodunit” movies, adapted from Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935 film of the same name.

Actors include UW-Stevens Point students Carly Rhyner and Lauren Gierl. Community members Andrew Spencer, Edgar Ausbourne, Mark Van Over, and Ed Krall complete the six-member cast.

Performances will be offered Nov. 1-2 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 3 at 2 p.m., at the Helen Connor Laird Theater, 2000 W. Fifth St., Marshfield.

This performance is appropriate for junior high school-age audiences or older.
