Umbrella at Theatre Row's Kirk Theatre

The Alchemy Theatre Company of Manhattan presents Umbrella, by L. Pontius, opening at Theatre Row's Kirk Theatre on 15 Apr 2008, following previews from 11 Apr and running through to 4 May 2008.

Umbrella: A mix of tragedy and comedy about the loneliness and despair of living in a big city and the choices we make to relieve the pressure. Helen and Frank are two strangers on a rooftop; one a peeping Tom, the other a cutter. They try to fins a common ground, but it all changes as taboos and secrets are revealed and dreams fall apart. What began as an act of kindness turns into a war of wills.

Directed by Padraic Lillis, Umbrella features Christa Kimlicko Jones and Judson Jones.

The creative team comprises Lea Umberger (sets and costumes), Sarah Sidman (lighting) and Jill BC DuBoff (sound).
