Hale Centre Theatre Adds Second
Performance to Celebrate New Year's Eve
Due to overwhelming demand, Hale Centre Theatre (HCT), Utah’s Premiere Family Theatre, has added a second special New Year’s Eve performance of the Tony Award-winning stage adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock’s hilarious comedy “The 39 Steps” to kick off its 2013 season.
The production, which runs Dec. 31 through Feb. 2, will now also be performed at 6 p.m. on New Year's Eve. The theatre’s traditional performance at 10 p.m. on the holiday is sold out. At both New Year’s Eve productions, refreshments will be provided by The Iron Gate Catering. Games, party hats and noisemakers will enhance the festive atmosphere of the party.
“I can’t think of a better way to ring in the New Year than to host an unforgettable evening at the theatre, full of laughs and memories with family and friends,’” said Sally Dietlein, HCT’s co-founder and producer. “By adding this earlier show, we’ve created the perfect opportunity not only for those who don’t want to be out too late, but for those who want to ring in the New Year with the entire family.”
Based on the 1935 movie by Alfred Hitchcock and adapted by Patrick Barlow, “The 39 Steps” is the frenzied story of Richard Hannay, who seeks a frivolous night at the theatre and is instead lured into a world of intrigue by a mysterious woman claiming to be a spy. When she winds up dead in his flat, he flees London with the police hot on his trail.
In this romantic mystery comedy, four dizzying actors play multiple roles that take them through the country and the city and from the train to a Scottish Inn.
HCT’s “The 39 Steps” is directed by Chris Clark. The show stars Mitch Hall and Ben Jarvis as Richard Hannay; and Emily Bell and Kelly Hennessey as Annabella, etc. Jeffrey Whitlock and Carter Thompson star as Clown No. 1, Jake Suazo and Justin Bruse star as Clown No. 2, Eric Phillips and BJ Warner as Foley Artist, and Greg Larsen and Wes Tolman as Stage Manager.
Costumes were designed by Kristy Draper; scenic design by Jennifer Stapley-Taylor; lighting design by Adam Flitton; production assistance by Tammy Morgan; and hair and makeup by Trisha Ison.
New Year’s Eve performances are at 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. Performances after the New Year’s Eve celebration are Monday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. with matinées each Saturday at 12:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. There will be no performance on Jan. 1. Tickets may be purchased online at www.halecentretheatre.org, via telephone at 801-984-9000 or at the Hale Centre Theatre box office.
