RENO LITTLE THEATER Presents:

"Dial M for Murder"

January 17- February 9, 2025

A Thrilling New Take on a Classic Mystery: Dial M for Murder

Reno Little Theater proudly presents Frederick Knott’s Dial M for Murder, in a bold and stylish adaptation by acclaimed playwright Jeffrey Hatcher. This gripping psychological thriller brings fresh life to the tale of betrayal, passion, and cunning manipulation as Tony Wendice schemes to murder his wife, Margot, and secure her wealth. But when his perfect crime unravels, Margot must fight for her life as a relentless investigator closes in on the truth.

Hatcher's adaptation sharpens the suspense and updates the drama, delivering a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat experience that captivates modern audiences. With an atmosphere of intrigue and a cast of complex characters, Dial M for Murder proves that even the most carefully laid plans can unravel with deadly consequences.
Directed by Melissa Taylor, and assistant-directed by Greg Hillman, Dial M for Murder features performances from Ryan Costello, Libby Bakke, Karly Tilman, Ian Sorensen, Bryce Keil, Muhammad Shamim, Alixe Bunyard, and Natalie Hurt with stage management support from Emma Greene, assisted by Basil Conrad and Muhammad Shamim. Dates and showtimes for Dial M for Murder are January 17, 18, 23, 24, 25, 30, 31 Feb. 1, 6, 7, & 8 @ 7:30 pm and January 19, 26,
Feb. 2, & 9 @ 2 pm.

All performances take place at the theater’s location at 147 E. Pueblo Street, Reno, NV 89502. Advanced reservations are strongly advised. These plays are recommended for adult audiences. Tickets are $15 for students, $23 for seniors, $28 for adults. There is a Name-Your-Price performance on Saturday, Jan. 18, and a post-show talkback with the cast and crew on Sunday, Jan. 26. RLT will also hold a captioned performance with English subtitles on Feb. 2. For tickets and information visit www.renolittletheater.org or call (775) 813-8900.
