The 39 Steps

This deliriously funny and sophisticated spoof of the original spy novel and subsequent Hitchcock film benefits from a number of British and Scottish accents, as well as the hilarious work of Jason Kuykendall and Amy Kelly in roles too numerous to count. Kurt Johnson is the main character, a depressed Englishman caught up in international espionage, and Melinda Parrett plays most of the femme fatales. T 6:30pm; W 2 & 6:30pm; Th, F 8pm; Sa 5 & 9pm; Su 2pm. Through 2/20. $22-$30. B Street Theatre, 2711 B St.; (916) 443-5300; www.bstreettheatre.org.
