Hi Matthew! Tell us about your role on The 39 Steps?
I have the pleasure to be working as the Sound Operator for this amazing production! I assist in telling the story through sound.
What is your background in theatre?
I have been acting for a number of years throughout school as well as some community theatre companies. I have also been part of production teams on some shows as well working Sound, Runner, and Assistance to Lights. This is my first Walterdale show and I am very excited to work with these amazingly talented people.
What brought you out for The 39 Steps?
I have seen some great shows come out of Walterdale and I wanted to be a part of one, so when the notice came out – I eagerly jumped at it.
What are you enjoying the most about working on this show so far?
I absolutely love working with the amazing cast and crew and watching this show come to life. Can’t wait for the world to see it!
Why do you think people should come see The 39 Steps at Walterdale?
I have never seen a Walterdale show I didn’t want to see twice. On top of that, seeing this amazing show first-hand and watching it come together, how this fantastic cast and crew have brought this story to life, I can say with complete certainty, it’s something no one will want to miss!
The 39 Steps is based on the Hitchcock film (which is based on the John Buchan novel)… do you have a favourite Hitchcock film? OR a favourite 1930s-40s film?
