Play with A Broken Umbrella Theatre and learn the building blocks of ensemble theater-making.
A Broken Umbrella Theater is proud to team up with the Eli Whitney Museum & Workshop and C. Delari Johnston’s Costuming Camp again this summer. They will be offering a one-week theater camp for students interested in creating original devised work. Through the uses of improv, theater games, and a little bit of history, campers will work to create original pieces. The theme this year is the “Factory”.
In this collaboration, our two camps will work together to build an original work inspired by New Haven’s rich history of Invention, Ingenuity, and Industry!
This camp will collaborate with a costuming camp that will create original costumes for an end-of-the-week performance.
A Broken Umbrella Theatre is committed to enhancing the vitality of our community, supporting the creative growth of our ensemble, and presenting compelling theatrical events that are inspired by the unique history of New Haven, Connecticut – all with a commitment to aesthetic rigor. Each year 30 or more Connecticut arts professionals, affiliated with our ensemble, volunteer to research, write, design, act and produce original theater inspired by New Haven's history and lore. Since 2009, we have enlivened unique and underutilized spaces, actively engaged a diverse group of non traditional and traditional theater going audiences, and highlighted historical events and individuals from our city's past in original and unexpected ways.
