The Umbrella Stage Company is thrilled to announce its upcoming production of “Now. Here. This.” – a musical jaunt that explores humor, heart, and self-discovery. Set against the backdrop of cosmic adventures, four friends share stories about identity, laughter, living, and middle school, all while attempting to step directly into the elusive “present moment.” Hailed by The New York Times as “a blend of good humor and good feeling with an audience-embracing brio that never flags” this new show comes from the creative minds behind “[title of show]”. More than just a musical, it’s a celebration of life, love, connection, and the boundless potential of the human spirit. Running Oct. 4-Nov. 10, the show will run in rotation with The Umbrella’s production of Network, the hard-hitting satire based on the classic film. Select performances will feature additional engagement opportunities for audience members: Dinner & A Show packages are available for all Thursday night performances Talk Backs are scheduled following performances on Oct. 18 and Nov. 7 Childcare with art activities for youth ages 5-12 is available through The Umbrella’s Kid Care program for parents interested in attending the Oct. 18 matinee The Umbrella is ADA accessible, a proud partner in the Massachusetts Cultural Council’s EBT Card-to-Culture program, and provides free parking and free admission to its visual arts galleries.
