Running through September 12, Flat Rock Playhouse is presenting 39 Steps, Broadway’s longest-running comedy thriller. The production features a cast of four, including the Playhouse’s own Scott Treadway who plays more than 150 characters in this story about an ordinary man on an extraordinary adventure.

Then, beginning September 22 and running through October 17, will be The Drowsy Chaperone. This play, which received more Tony Awards than any other musical of the 2006 season, is the comedic story of a modern day musical theater addict known simply as “Man in Chair” (again, played by Scott Treadway). To chase his blues away he drops the needle on his favorite LP—the 1928 musical comedy “The Drowsy Chaperone.”

From the crackling sound of his old hi-fi, the musical magically bursts to life in his living room.

It is the rambunctious tale of a pampered Broadway starlet who wants to give up show business to get married, her producer who sets out to sabotage the nuptials, her chaperone, the debonair groom, the dizzy chorine, the Latin lover, and a pair of gangsters who double as pastry chefs.

Flat Rock Playhouse is located at 2661 Greenville Highway in Flat Rock. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Playhouse box office at 828.693.0731 (toll- free at 866.732.8008) or at flatrockplayhouse.org.
