Travis McKinley and Karen Boyle as the two salesmen, and Kyle Price as Richard Hannay rehearse the train scene in “The 39 Steps,” onstage at Sea Glass Stage Company at Coligny Theatre May 2-18.
Spring is a great time for some comic relief from real life, and Sea Glass Stage Company is happy to provide just that for residents and visitors. “The 39 Steps” will run May 2-18, Fridays through Sundays, at the historic Coligny Theatre in Coligny Plaza on Hilton Head Island.
The comical take on 1930s-style whodunit spy thriller follows a boring, average man, Richard Hannay, through a series of wild events that resulted from a simple outing to a theatre show. The madcap fun begins with a beautiful woman who is a secret agent, and hurtles through a stage actfeaturing a couple of con artists, hilarious underwear salesmen on a rumbling steam train, bumbling policemen, an amazing escape, a fake campaign speech, two more beautiful women, a plane crash … and that’s just the first part!
The local production will run May 2-18 at Sea Glass Stage at Coligny Theatre, 1 N. Forest Beach Drive on Hilton Head Island. Shows are 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $35 adult, $20 student. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit sgstage.org/tickets, or follow Sea Glass Stage at Coligny on Facebook and Instagram.
