The lovely ladies at Socially Awkward Productions, aka Lilliane Moffat and Caitlin Mac have made a gorgeous promo video for Umbrella Theatre. Using footage from our recent residency at the Rocks Village Bizarre, it really captures the atmosphere of the twinkling lights, red velvet, and colourful characters.

Another fabulous week of art, music, burlesque and puppetry. ‘Dobby’s Punishment Parlour’ made a comeback for a corporate Halloween function. Our well endowed gimp served Dobby acceptably as he dished out punishments (and a few rewards?) to all and sundry. Ah, the joys of being a puppeteer. We’re hoping it gave the guests something to talk about in the office …

Yes I’ve read the books. Seen the movies. And now I’ll be in the burlesque parody. What am I talking about? Harry Potter and the Curse of the Tassel Twirl, where fan boys, divas and devos unite! This Sunday Umbrella Theatre will be presenting you with the perverted puppetry phenomena, ‘Dobby’s Punishment Parlour’ at the Standard Oxford Street. Our very …
