Reviving Theater Magic in Bryan: A Special One-Week Run of “The 39 Steps”
In the vibrant city of Bryan, excitement is brewing as StageCenter gears up for an extraordinary week of theater. Remember back in 2020 when the world was in the grips of a pandemic, and the very essence of live performance was called into question? Well, StageCenter stepped up to the challenge with a **COVID-safe rendition** of the classic suspense-filled story, “The 39 Steps.” Fast forward nearly four years, and they’re back to deliver a fresh take on this thrilling tale with “The 39 Steps: A Live Radio Play”!
A Whimsical Twist on a Classic

It’s a delightful mix to tickle your fancy and spark your imagination!
Meet the Cast
Taking the helm and making her directorial debut is Kassandra Maduzia, who will guide the audience through this unique revival.
