Join A Broken Umbrella Theatre this Halloween. The light will haunt you.
This fall, a new Halloween drama called PLAY WITH MATCHES will haunt the old warehouse at 446A Blake Street in Westville. Researched and developed by A Broken Umbrella Theatre with playwright Jason Patrick Wells and director Ian Alderman, PLAY WITH MATCHES tells the story of the quirky New Haven inventor Ebenezer Beecher, who ignited a spark that would set the world ablaze with his automated matchstick machine.
Toss aside a matchbook lately? Need to light some birthday candles quickly? Beecher’s Diamond Match Company is the reason you didn’t even have to think twice about how to ignite that flame. This show takes you back to 1852, when a mansion called Blonstone stood where the Mitchell Library is today. Filled with secrets, not yet with books, the building knew that progress has a price.
