That’s a wrap on DIAL M FOR MACGUFFIN!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the final weekend of Dial M for MacGuffin at the Producers Club Theaters & Bar on June 26 & 27!

From start to finish, this run was a gloriously improvised plunge into Hitchcock-inspired suspense, mistaken motives, homicidal turkeys, dramatic entrances, suspicious glances, gory streamers and perfectly unnecessary MACGUFFINS!

A huge thank you to our wonderful cast: Evie Aronson, Robert Baumgardner, Nannette Deasy Baumgardner, Natalie Hunter, Sam Katz, Victoria Martin, John Meehan, and Rodney Umble. Special applause to Vikki Martin, whose fabulous singing blew the roof off Producers Club!.

We are deeply grateful to Pat Shay for directing this delightfully unpredictable production with such intelligence, humor, and care; to Robert Baumgardner for conceiving the show; to Will Knapp for keeping the technical pieces moving; Freddy and the Producers Club Theaters & Bar our theatrical home, and to Roberto C. Tobar for capturing the production in photos.

Special thanks as well to Martha Cristina Garza and Mere Davis for running box office for our final weekend and helping welcome audiences to the show.

And thank you to all of the friends, family, fellow artists, theatre lovers, and adventurous audience members who joined us, including Roberto Tobar, Ellen Ryan, Margaret Mackenzie, Claiborne Ray, Sarah Ann Rodgers, Debra Dean, Ellen Ryan, Margaret Mackenzie, fellow IRTE Jamie Maloney, Elayna Center, Michele Drohan, Barbara Savicky, Michael Condon, Benjamin Fears, Carol Hernandez, our good friend Connie Von Hundertmark, Gregory Juedes, Jonathan Zaccarini, Judy Chen, Katherine C. Healey, Marsha Lesser, Norman Eng, Patricia Fischer, Warren Watson, Sarh Mace-Bodon, Sadira Maraj, Ken, Stephanie, Sarah Ann Rogers and .and everyone else who vanished into the final fade-out before leaving their name in the Guestbook.

We are so grateful to everyone who helped make our final weekend such a memorable one.

IRTE will be back in the fall with a brand-new adventure. Until then, thank you for supporting live, unpredictable, one-night-only theatre.

❤️ See you in the fall!

The case is almost closed.

This weekend is your last chance to catch IRTE’s Dial M for MacGuffin, our fully improvised theatrical thriller inspired by Alfred Hitchcock.

No script. No safety net. No one knows where the story will lead — least of all the cast.

Each performance creates a brand-new Hitchcockian adventure full of suspense, silliness, intrigue, wigs, overly dramatic twists, and the occasional MacGuffin of deeply debatable significance.

PRAISE FOR DIAL M FOR MACGUFFIN
⭐ "Zany"
⭐ "Completely ridiculous"
⭐ "VERY absurd"
— Jed Ryan, Lavender After Dark

⭐ "Murder, mistaken motives, and absurd twists fuel this fast-moving improvised homage to Alfred Hitchcock... The whole production is happily slapdash and thoroughly entertaining." — Walter Murphy, Theater Pizzazz

If you’ve been meaning to come, this is it.

FINAL TWO PERFORMANCES

Another weekend of suspense, silliness, intrigue, and more double-crosses than anyone could keep track of is in the books!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us this past weekend for Dial M for MacGuffin at The Producers Club.

Two more completely improvised Hitchcock-inspired thrillers unfolded before our eyes, featuring mysterious strangers, suspicious clues, dramatic revelations, and more than a few murderous corgis.

IRTE would especially like to thank Freddie and everyone at The Producers Club Theaters & Bar, our director Pat Shay, Robert Baumgardner for conceiving this wonderfully ridiculous adventure, our phenomenal tech director Will Knapp, and photographer/box office hero John Munnelly. Special thanks as well to John Joyce Baker and Susan M. Baker for helping keep the box office running smoothly.

And thank you to all of our wonderful audience members and supporters who joined us this weekend, including Aaron DeHart, Clemmie Rice, Eric Lieber, Hildy Rubin, Martha Cristina Garza, Sacha Hartmann, Shahnaz Mahmud, Sheila Rao, Benjamin Brennan, Daniela Sciaky, Gregory Smelkov, Ivette Garcia, Jennifer Carattini, Katelyn Major, Margaret Mackenzie, Olivia Cortellini, Pat Marafiote, Richard Holland, Thomas Angelo, Arwin Laussberg, Isabele Lieber, Dioreen Baskin, Isabella Lin, Joe Strike, Jessica and James N, Libby Halpent, Rachel Brennan, Walter Garcin, Judy Ferr, Reed Lorderman, Juan Wiedemann, and everyone else who escaped our guest book but not our gratitude..

No two performances are ever the same—each night audiences inspire a brand-new Hitchcockian adventure that has never existed before and will never happen again.

There are only TWO performances left!
