Hitch-Cocktails

Hitch-Cocktails Hitch*Cocktails is an improvised thriller/drinking game in the style of Alfred Hitchcock.

It starts with an audience suggestion... then, the players create a full-length thriller in the style of Alfred Hitchcock. There could be murder, car chases, gun play, shady characters, exciting music, and drinks… well, plenty of drinks. Since this is high-class crime, the stage is complete with a wet bar, and the actors will be forced to partake as the plot develops. By the end of the show, you m

ight not be able to stand the suspense... and the actors might not be able to stand at all. "With the tagline, 'Action so tense, you'll have to get tight," how can you go wrong? "Vlcek's nimble cast dove into the narrative with stylized aplomb, tying in earlier nuggets of information and leaving no MacGuffin unturned." — Kerry Reid, Chicago Tribune

"Hitch-Cocktails creates an original suspense story each week in the vein of its namesake Alfred Hitchcock. It's fun for people who've never seen Hitchcock's films - but if you're well-versed, you'll catch some of their sneakier jokes." - ChooseChicago.com

Every Friday at 9:30PM at The Annoyance Theatre: 851 W. Belmont, Chicago, IL 60657
