In 2012, Andrew Breitbart wrote about Barack Obama speaking on a panel for a small Chicago theater years earlier, hoping it would cause the President’s downfall. That night, Breitbart had a heart attack and died, making it his final blog posting. What ensued was a tornado of conspiracy theories, spin and vitriol from his Alt-Right followers, putting the show's producer/director into a very unusual and scary spotlight. This story, though unbelievable, is entirely true.

Pam Dickler (writer/performer) Originally from Bucks County, PA, Pam enjoys many sides of theater including performing, writing, directing and producing. As the managing director for two Chicago companies, she produced many world premieres over the years. Her plays include the full-length dramedies Life Defying Actsand Relative Distance, the children’s musical The Little Turtle with music/lyrics by Chris Walz, and the one-act Promising. She produced/directed Tony-nominee Herb Schapiro’s premiere of The Love Song of Saul Alinsky, which led to the bizarre circumstances for creating I Killed Andy Breitbart. A graduate of Syracuse University, she is a proud member of The Dramatists Guild.

Drew Martin (Director) has worked for over 35 years in Chicago theatre and was Artistic Director of Stage Left (SLT) in the 1990’s. Among shows Drew directed, eleven have been nominated for, and six honored with, Jeff Awards. He earned a Jeff for directing SLT’s Leander Stillwell and was nominated for Police Deaf Near Far. His passion for new work is reflected in the many world premiere productions he has directed. Drew is a graduate of Dartmouth College and studied with the Royal Shakespeare Company. Drew produces corporate meetings and events nationwide through his company, Polaris Productions.
