Season Information
Following a successful 2024-25 season, revisiting past productions, Cranbrook Community Theatre (CCT) invites audiences to "Go to the Movies" for its 2025-26 season. Each of our three productions
is either inspired by or adapted into a Hollywood film.
The 39 Steps
Performance Dates: October 17, 18, 19, 23, 24, 25, 26, 30, 31. November 1, 2025
Roles: 1 male - 30-40 yrs, 1 female - 20-30 yrs, 2 Gender neutral - any age
Patrick Barlow’s spy-farce The 39 Steps, based on Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935 film and John Buchan’s
1915 novel. Featuring a cast of four playing over 100 characters, this fast-paced comedy follows
Richard Hannay as he races from London to the Scottish Highlands, dodging spies and unraveling
an international conspiracy.
Directed by CCT veteran Trevor Lundy, this production is a long-awaited return.
“In March 2020, we were a month from opening The 39 Steps when COVID shut us down,” says
Lundy. “The cast and crew were devastated. Now, we finally get to share this ridiculously funny
production with our audience.”
A Thousand Clowns
Performance Dates: February 20, 21, 22, 26, 27, 28. March 1, 5, 6, 7, 2026.
Roles: 1 male youth - 12-15 yrs, 4 males - 35-55 yrs, 1 female - 20-40 yrs
Longtime CCT performer Michael Grossman makes his directorial debut with A Thousand Clowns by
Herb Gardner, a heartfelt comedy that inspired the 1965 film starring Jason Robards.
The play follows Murray, a free-spirited nonconformist, facing the reality of raising his young nephew,
Nick. As he grapples with responsibility, A Thousand Clowns explores the balance between
individuality and societal expectations.
“I never felt like I fit in growing up, and I embraced that,” says Grossman. “This play celebrates
eccentricity—then puts it on trial. No clowns. No courtroom. Love prevails.”
Deathtrap
Performance Dates: May 22, 23, 24, 28, 29, 30, 31. June 4, 5, 6, 2026.
Roles: 3 males, 2 - 40-60 yrs, 1 - early to mid-20s. 2 females, 1 - 30-50 yrs, 1 - 50-70 yrs
Closing the season is Ira Levin’s Deathtrap, a thrilling play-turned-1982-film starring Michael Caine
and Christopher Reeve.
Sidney Bruhl, a once-successful playwright, receives an unproduced script from his former student, Clifford—one that’s better than anything he’s written in years. Desperate for success, Sidney hatches a deadly plan to claim the work as his own.
“Deathtrap is packed with twists and turns that will keep you guessing,” says director Bob McCue.
“Shocks and surprises are guaranteed—no one is safe, not even the audience.”
