This is the website of The Umbrella Theater.

The Umbrella Theater is a home for unconventional and deeply affecting performance art, alternative comedy, and experimental theatre, elevating new and unusual voices and bringing together the best of the local Bay Area scene with touring artists drawn from the Fringe theatre circuit around the US, UK, and beyond. We present shows that break the form, bust through the fourth wall, and challenge audiences intellectually and emotionally, all while staying grounded in communal, humanistic values.

Our first show is ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, running November 14–22, 2026.
