Event Details

The 39 Steps will be presented at the Corn Stock Theatre Center (located in upper Bradley Park) beginning at 7:30 pm.  Tickets are $17 for adults and $13 for students through age 18 and under are available at the Corn Stock box office, by calling 309-676-2196 or online at www.CornStockTheatre.com

Mixing spy thriller with hilarious farce, The 39 Steps by Patrick Barlow and John Buchan is a fast-paced, wildly inventive comedy based on Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film. When ordinary man Richard Hannay is thrust into a world of espionage, murder, and mystery, he finds himself on the run from shadowy agents in a nonstop adventure across the UK. Featuring just a handful of actors playing dozens of roles, The 39 Steps delights with quick changes, witty dialogue, and clever staging that keeps audiences laughing from start to finish. This madcap theatrical experience is a treat for fans of comedy, suspense, and pure theatrical magic.

Event Details

The Penguin Project will present Aladdin Jr. at Eastlight Theatre (located within the East Peoria High School Auditorium) beginning at 7:30 pm on Friday & Saturday and 2 pm on Sunday.  This production is unique, because all of the roles are filled by children with developmental disabilities including Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism, intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities, visual impairment, hearing impairment, and other neurological disorders. They are joined on stage by their “peer mentors”, a group of children the same age without disabilities, who have volunteered to work with them side-by-side and guide them through 4 months of rehearsals and the final production.  By creating unrestricted access to the performing arts, The Penguin Project® demonstrates that the special challenges of a disability need not handicap a child’s ability to participate in life’s experiences.  Tickets are $14 and are available at the box office at 309-699-7469 or online at www.eastlighttheatre.com  For more information about the Penguin Project, visit http://penguinprojectpeoria.org Please note: An ASL interpreter is available for the Sunday, January 18 performance.
