Umbrella Hat Blogs!

Hi! We are Umbrella Hat Productions. We're a new production company based in New York City and Santa Fe, New Mexico.

We are dedicated to making performance art and theater that bridges gaps and brings people together.

Our current, primary project is producing two plays in Santa Fe, New Mexico, this summer: Iphigenia & Other Daughters by Ellen McLaughlin and Proof by David Auburn. We are uniting artists from Santa Fe and New York to participate in this unique collaboration.

Umbrella Hat is also producing master classes, ensemble workshops, and intern programs throughout the summer in Santa Fe, aimed at inspiring young people through theater.

Get involved! Email Natasha AT UmbrellaHat DOT org. And jump around and smile!
