Our Classroom Volunteers are middle and high school aged young adults ages 15-17 who volunteer as a part of our Umbrella February Vacation Week Program. In this role volunteers develop a sense of responsibility through observation, participation, planning and implementation.  Classroom Volunteers have the opportunity to be a great help to the Lead Teachers, Assistant Teachers and the Students. 

Thanks to Minuteman Media Network for its new program highlighting this season’s Go Out Doors - Neighbors installation at Bradford Mill in West Concord, in collaboration with Artscape. The new segment shares the background of the multiyear Go Out Doors project and interviews several of the participating artists at Bradford Mill.

The Umbrella continues to closely monitor our public health environment and maintains a commitment to keep the health and safety of our community of artists, audiences, teachers and students at the forefront of all our planning. In light of the rapidly evolving environment and heightened levels of caution, we have made the decision to reschedule the remainder of our 2021-2022 Umbrella Stage Company Season. The new schedule is as follows:

Head Over Heels - April 15 - May 8, 2022

Winter is here, and so is the new Arts Education program classes and workshops session! We're proud to offer new and returning classes in Ceramics, Drawing, Fiber Arts, Painting, Digital Arts, Film, Mixed Media, Creative Mindfulness, Glass, and more.

The Umbrella has been thrilled to once again welcome audiences back to our theater! Although enhanced safety COVID safety measures have meant a night at the theater looks and feels a little different, the pleasure of coming together for live concerts and shows is unmistakable, for audiences and artists alike.

In a new video by Ryan Malyar, opening weekend audiences share their reactions to The Umbrella Stage Company's production of the all-ages musical adventure, The Old Man and The Old Moon, by PigPen Theatre, directed by Julia Deter.

Artists Respond to Famed Park Sites, Connecting Park to The Umbrella's Expanding "Go Out Doors" Regional Project

An exciting new public art exhibition has been installed in the Minute Man National Historical Park this month, in collaboration with The Umbrella Arts Center. 

I'm proud to share that this month, the Mass Cultural Council named The Umbrella a "UP Designated Organization" following our intensive, half-year participation in its Innovation and Learning Network.

Sold-Out Show Perfect Reopening Concert After Long Delay

Oct. 15, the mood was buoyant at The Umbrella as the mainstage theater reopened for public concerts with a sold-out benefit performance by Indigo Girls. The packed house was on its feet and singing along throughout the set, effusive in applause not just for Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, but for the dazzling violinist Lyris Hung.

The Umbrella is pleased to welcome Madeline Miller as Director of The Umbrella Arts & Environment Program.
