SAULT STE. MARIE – Algoma Repertory Theatre presents The 39 Steps and it is no mystery why this gleefully whimsical spy parody remains an audience favourite - mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python.
Timothy Murphy, Marc Beaudette and AJ Brisson will return to the stage together as three of the four actors who will tackle over 150 characters in this production. These three funny guys last split sides during ART’s Fall 2023 production of “THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED)[Revised] [Again]”. Courtney McDonald joins this trio, and they are ready to leave you crying with laughter.
