Beginner workshops are perfect for you to grab your friends, grab a drink and come make tiny trees! We’re bringing the awesome art of bonsai out of the hedged in gardens and into the streets! Or at least into your favorite bars/breweries/pubs. Bonsai Bar is a night of fun you don’t want to miss. Learn the fundamental skills and techniques behind the art of bonsai while enjoying a night out with friends! Our teachers will introduce core concepts and guide your experience as you pot, prune, and design your very own bonsai tree! Our Guarantee: These tiny trees are so hardy we guarantee you can keep yours alive, or we’ll replace it.

This workshop will be hosted at New England Brewing Co. We here at NEBCo started brewing beer with one guiding force; passion (Okay, two forces. We also wanted to see if we could actually make beer that we wanted to drink). That initial, passionate drive is still deeply rooted in each one of us today. And it will stick around as we continue to brew our beer, hopefully growing into one of the best and most respected craft breweries in New England. We strive for the highest quality beer experience by following some basic, simple, core values.

Inspired by the real stories of New Haven apizza pioneers, Family Business: (A)Pizza Play follows the Carbonizatto family’s pizza shop from it’s immigrant beginnings as it passes down over generations. This production explores New Haven’s pizza magic (la magia dell'apizza) from New Haven’s cultural and historic connection to pizza.

Family Business: (A)Pizza Play is a special collaboration with CitySeed and Sanctuary Kitchen, highlighting New Haven’s food culture, and celebrating the impact of 100 years of immigrant entrepreneurship in New Haven. Performances are at 162 James St., New Haven, future home of CitySeed’s operations, food incubator, and Sanctuary Kitchen.

THE CARBONIZATTO STORY

Pizza is a big deal in New Haven. We’re the Pizza Capital of America, after all. A Broken Umbrella Theatre has always wanted to tell the New Haven Apizza story, but not as a biography of any pizzaioli, but as a story of all of them. To do that, they took New Haven’s Apizza people and joined them into the fictionalized Carbonizzatto Family. Carbonizzatto, from the Italian for “carbonized” — a knowing wink to the black-dusted fingers walking out of any apizza shop.

Last year, in A Slice, we saw multiple generations of the Carbonizzattos throughout history, but always in New Haven and always at their pizza shop. The Carbonizattos struggled from generation to generation as they grappled with what they owe to future Carbonizattos — and what did they owe to those who came before? Because this is part of a larger story, and it’s not just about Apizza, it’s about a family. A Slice was only the seed for this full production, or as Bruno Cantante sings in the show, “One slice don’t make a pie.”

You thought you knew what was coming. You thought you knew what the end would be. But when you get there, you realize it is something entirely different. It makes you think, “Hmmm… wasn’t expecting that!”

This year we Stir the Style with narratives of surprise, disappointment, triumph, and transformation—tales where the destination wasn't quite what was imagined, but the journey proved remarkable nonetheless.

You might find yourself laughing at life's unpredictable nature or shedding tears in shared understanding. Each person's reaction will be uniquely their own, as personal as the memories these works evoke.

What we can promise is an engaging evening that resonates with your own life experiences, leaving you entertained, moved, and perhaps seeing your own journey in a new light.

Separated by 2,781 miles and on two different continents, Iraqi and Nigerian Christians share similar stories of persecution. From 2014-2018, portions of Northern Iraq were under the control of the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and many religious minorities, including Christians, experienced persecution and violence as a result. In the northern and central portions of Nigeria, violence towards Christians and other minority groups has also increased in recent years at the hands of Boko Haram and other groups.

Jumpstart your two-week Festival experience with a performance that pays homage to the Juneteenth holiday and celebrates our collective dedication to harmony and truth! Curated by Artsucation and the Official Juneteenth Coalition of Greater New Haven, this evening promises a rhythmical blend of joyful artistry. Join us for an evening with New Haven All-Stars featuring The Keepers of the Culture Performing Arts Company, The Rahsaan Langley Project, and the legendary R&B sensation, singer Johnny King. Jose Candelario of WYBC Electric Drum will host the evening. Make sure to mark your calendar for a night that you won’t want to miss!

HartBeat Ensemble presents a staged reading of Woodhull/Beecher, a new play by Leslie Gabel-Brett exploring the tension between hope and despair in the struggles for personal and social justice. Victoria Woodhull – feminist, spiritualist, free-love advocate and first female presidential candidate – clashes with Henry Ward Beecher – minister, abolitionist, brother to Harriet Beecher Stowe and, to some, the “most famous man in America.” Set in late 1800’s New York, the lives of Woodhull and Beecher intersect in a contest of ideas and ambitions that erupt into a public scandal from which neither can fully recover. The play reveals truths about patriarchy, sexuality, hypocrisy, the power of public narrative and the costs of activism.  Victoria Woodhull could see the future – but could she change it?

Inspired by the real stories of New Haven apizza pioneers, Family Business: (A)Pizza Play follows the Carbonizatto family’s pizza shop from it’s immigrant beginnings as it passes down over generations. This production explores New Haven’s pizza magic (la magia dell'apizza) from New Haven’s cultural and historic connection to pizza.

Family Business: (A)Pizza Play is a special collaboration with CitySeed and Sanctuary Kitchen, highlighting New Haven’s food culture, and celebrating the impact of 100 years of immigrant entrepreneurship in New Haven. Performances are at 162 James St., New Haven, future home of CitySeed’s operations, food incubator, and Sanctuary Kitchen.

THE CARBONIZATTO STORY

Pizza is a big deal in New Haven. We’re the Pizza Capital of America, after all. A Broken Umbrella Theatre has always wanted to tell the New Haven Apizza story, but not as a biography of any pizzaioli, but as a story of all of them. To do that, they took New Haven’s Apizza people and joined them into the fictionalized Carbonizzatto Family. Carbonizzatto, from the Italian for “carbonized” — a knowing wink to the black-dusted fingers walking out of any apizza shop.

Last year, in A Slice, we saw multiple generations of the Carbonizzattos throughout history, but always in New Haven and always at their pizza shop. The Carbonizattos struggled from generation to generation as they grappled with what they owe to future Carbonizattos — and what did they owe to those who came before? Because this is part of a larger story, and it’s not just about Apizza, it’s about a family. A Slice was only the seed for this full production, or as Bruno Cantante sings in the show, “One slice don’t make a pie.”

"Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face." —Victor Hugo

Sometimes there is nothing more refreshing than a nice – deep - belly laugh. A laugh that makes your side hurt, your eyes water and your breath hard to catch. A laugh so powerful that - at least for a moment - you forget all about your troubles.

In a world with so much uncertainty, we invite you to bring your troubles and hear stories that make you say, “That’s Funny!” Our tellers will delight you with stories of joy and sadness, success and failures, agreements and conflicts. And all of them are stories that will make you laugh. Come join us as we laugh our troubles away.

Our featured teller is Jamie Brickhouse.
