Open the door to the theater at The Umbrella Annex and you’ll see a stage, center view. Expand your focus, and you’ll see the crew scattered around the black box theater, reading lines and trying on outfits.
Maureen Festa, costume designer, reaches into a blue IKEA bag full of denim jackets. She pulls one out, has a crew member try it on – it fits him perfectly on the first try. “I’m going to turn it into a vest and rip off the sleeves,” Festa thinks aloud…

Hello everyone! My name is Erin and I’m super excited to be starting as a Visual Arts Intern at The Umbrella. A little bit about me, I recently graduated from Keene State College in New Hampshire with a Studio Arts degree and a minor in Art History. The program I was in was very rewarding. The faculty was more than helpful during my four years and never failed to challenge their students. My favorite courses at Keene were definitely the ones that allowed me to have hands on time in the studio. Although, I would have to say my all time favorite was printmaking.

Hi, my name is Blair Coulter, and I am a recent graduate of Westfield State University with a degree in Communication and a minor in Creative writing, which means I can at least write a nice-looking Christmas Card.

She makes her entrance like a star dying to be born – goose-stepping through the audience with the arrogant aplomb of Marlene Dietrich and Jim Morrison; decked out like a trailer-park tart’s idea of a glam-rock fox, in stone-washed denim, an Aryan-yellow, blow-dried mane and red-glitter lipstick; accompanied by the refried-Queen strains of "America the Beautiful" and marvelously surly introduction by her crusty Serbian valet boy toy Yitzhak: "Ladies and gentlemen, whether you like it or not – Hedwig!"
