2024 ALLEY BALL
DIAL H FOR HITCHCOCK

Without A Shadow of Doubt, Dial H for Hitchcock was a night for the books! On April 20, 2024, more than 420 guests gathered at The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston to raise more than $1.2 million for Alley Theatre’s artistic, education, and community engagement programs. The highlight of the evening was a humorously macabre skit featuring Alley Theatre Resident Acting Company members….and a murder! Elizabeth Bunch, Dylan Godwin, and David Rainey played iconic characters from The Birds, Psycho, and Rear Window, and Chris Salazar portrayed Alfred Hitchcock.
Thank you to everyone who supported the 2024 Alley Ball, and special thanks to Alley Ball Chairs Angela and Craig Jarchow and Honorees Roger and Connie Plank.
Save the date for next year’s Alley Ball: Friday, April 25, 2025.
