Be the Hero You Are...

Wow. Our first ever Pop-Opera, 'I am the Dream Machine' written by Max Lewis and realised by Electric Umbrella (during the past 12 weeks!) came to life yesterday. We loved it. And from reading your messages on social media, you all loved it too! THANK YOU to the 400+ of you that braved the heat to join us at Watford Palace Theatre for 2 hours of original music, marginally controlled chaos and every emotion... as we all experienced 'I am the Dream Machine' unfolding in real time before our eyes. It was just as much as once in a lifetime event for the audience as it was for the cast!

For those of you that have had ear worms all day - the good news is that we are releasing the soundtrack in the Autumn! And for those of you that MISSED OUT (yes, you well and truly missed out!) on coming to the show, the soundtrack will be the next best thing! It's available to pre-order below, so please get your orders in!

We were delighted to recently recognise Paul Gershlick, Partner at VWV Law Firm in Watford, with our Corporate Ambassador Award . Paul first introduced Electric Umbrella to VWV and their wider network after inviting us to perform online at their 2020 PING conference. Since then, a real friendship was struck and Paul, along with his team at VWV Watford, have gone above and beyond to support Electric Umbrella. Whether it’s having us return to perform at future conferences, supporting us with in-office charity events and lunches, or attending our shows, Paul and the VWV Watford team have bought into the Electric Umbrella way. In addition to VWV Watford making Electric Umbrella their office charity of the year for two years running, Paul personally volunteers on a weekly basis at our Big Yellow Choir, where he was presented with his award by our CEO Mel and choir member Ali, earlier this month.
