A comedic stage adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps will take the stage at Mercer County Community College’s Kelsey Theatre from April 24 through May 3.
Presented by Maurer Productions OnStage, the play blends mystery and humor in a fast-moving production featuring just four actors portraying more than 150 characters. The story follows Richard Hannay, who becomes entangled in an international espionage plot after a chance encounter with a mysterious spy.

The cast includes Tim Rerucha of Hamilton, Tonia Del Priore of East Windsor, Mary Tomson of Levittown, Pa., and Daniel C. Gleason of Yardley, Pa.
