Onstage next at Third Avenue PlayWorks (TAP) is The 39 Steps, a fast-paced thriller based on the Alfred Hitchcock movie of the same name.

Artistic director Jacob Janssen said that reassessment led to a complete style overhaul, including a renovated building, new leadership and a different name.
Many birds of North America are present, though only in their calls for the audience. Two birders in the story see the birds… and hear them. Please, use the term “birder,” not “bird watcher. Huh, sniff, “bird watcher” lacks the qualities of precision, perfection, passion, purity, purpose, profundity and power of “birder.” Now you have an inkling of what one of the two characters in the play “Birds of North America” is like on the wings of words.
