January 30, 2020Dial M for Murder Opens at Home Made Theater
Home Made Theater continues their 35th season with mystery master Frederick Knott’s Dial M for Murder. The show will run weekends February 8th through the 23rd at the Spa Little Theater in Saratoga Spa State Park.
Tony Wendice has married his wife, Margot, for her money and now plans to murder her for the same reason. He arranges the perfect murder. He blackmails a scoundrel he used to know into strangling her for a fee, and arranges a brilliant alibi for himself. Unfortunately… the murderer gets murdered and the victim survives. But this doesn’t baffle the husband: he sees his hireling’s death as an opportunity to have his wife convicted for the murder of the man who tried to murder her.
The Director of Dial M for Murder is Dianne O’Neill, who has previously directed Home Made Theater’s productions of The Mousetrap, A Christmas Carol, Calendar Girls, A Chorus Line, The Man Who Came to Dinner, Witness for the Prosecution, The 39 Steps, and And Then There Were None.
The artistic team includes Scenic Designer Marc Christopher, Lighting Designer Kyle Van Sandt, Costume Designer Erin Fenton, Sound Designer Anne-Marie Baker, and Properties Designer Christina Toppin.
Returning to the Home Made Theater stage in Dial M for Murder are Max Beyer as Tony Wendice, and Victor Cahn as Inspector Hubbard. They will be joined on stage by Home Made Theater newcomers John Emery as Max Halliday, Kenneth Killian as Captain Lesgate, Signe Naranjo as Margo Wendice, and Scott Roberts in various roles.
Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm, February 8, 14, 15, 21, & 22. Matinees are on Sundays at 2:00pm , February 9, 16, & 23.
