DIAL M FOR MACGUFFIN To Be Presented By IRTE At The Producers Club
Improvised Hitchcock-inspired comedy will run in New York with performances in June.
DIAL M FOR MACGUFFIN will be presented by the Improvisational Repertory Theatre Ensemble (IRTE) at The Producers Club in New York City. Performances are scheduled Fridays and Saturdays from June 5 through June 27, 2026 at 8:00 p.m.
The production is a fully improvised theatrical experience inspired by the cinematic style of Alfred Hitchcock, blending suspense with comedy. Each performance is created live, with no predetermined script, resulting in a different show each night.
DIAL M FOR MACGUFFIN
Conceived by Robert Baumgardner and directed by Pat Shay, DIAL M FOR MACGUFFIN draws on elements of classic noir storytelling while incorporating IRTE’s improvisational approach. The production combines stylized tension with unpredictable narrative turns, placing both performers and audiences in an evolving theatrical environment.
The ensemble includes Evie Aronson, Robert Baumgardner, Nannette Deasy, Natalie Hunter, Sam Katz, Vikki Martin, John Daniel Meehan, and Rodney Umble.
