A Broken Umbrella Theatre has always been committed to New Haven, its history, present, and future. That’s evident in the placemaking that we’ve become known for. We’ve transformed, rehabilitated, and enlivened department stores, theaters, and factories, bringing each location we touch back to life, making the old new again.
