"The 39 Steps" declares Alfred Hitchcock Month


As you know, I have a rather soft spot for The 39 Steps in New York City. While the play has moved from its Broadway location at the Helen Hayes Theatre to an Off Broadway home at the New World Stages, the fact remains that a long-running hit is still drawing big crowds. As well it should!

Each year, they declare September to be Alfred Hitchcock Month, and 2010 is no exception. Visit the official contest site for more details and to enter. Hope you can join in. Here is the high level view:

ALFRED HITCHCOCK LOOK-A-LIKE CONTEST

Three lucky finalists will win free tickets to attend Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps on Monday, September 27th at 8:00pm. The audience will then vote LIVE to select the grand prize winner of the Third Annual Alfred Hitchcock Look-A-Like Contest. Win tickets and a special prize package from The 39 Steps!

Thanks much, Cynthia. I like your blog too, as I've spent the last couple of years simplifying my life and enjoying it each terrifying step of the way! ;)

Drat! I'm 39, but don't qualify by their definition of "39". (I'll turn 40 next month.)

Great ideas for an event. I see Hitchcock has just been voted best British Director and Anthony Hopkins Best British Actor! See link below:
