A Broken Umbrella Theatre

Improv comedy faction

The Regicides - New Haven's longest-running improv troupe

The Regicides

New Haven's longest-running improv troupe.

The Regicides are the improv comedy faction of A Broken Umbrella Theatre. They turn suggestions from thousands of audience members into unique, never-to-be-seen-again hilarious performances.

Catch us if you can. We're funny.

Audience-Powered

Every show starts with the room. A suggestion becomes a character, a scene, a strange little world, and then it disappears forever.

Built for New Haven

The troupe has played theatres, art walks, fundraisers, neighborhood rooms, and places that were not sure they were venues until the show started.

Workshops That Move

Custom sessions use improv to build listening, collaboration, and fast creative confidence for schools, teams, and organizations.
