Upcoming performances by a COA grantee Leap into the technicolor world of A.C. Gilbert, New Haven icon and his most famous invention, the Erector Set. Illusion and invention collide in this brand-new theatrical adventure, GILBERT THE GREAT, held at the former site of the A.C. Gilbert Company in Erector Square. At Erector Square in the Fair Haven neighborhood, it is 1954. A mismatched crew of workers struggles to invent the next great toy kit for the A.C. Gilbert Company. For inspiration, they begin to brainstorm...only to find out it might be a bit stormier than they anticipated. Featuring a flash of athleticism, a dash of magic and a pinch of mania, GILBERT THE GREAT is recommended for ages 7 and up. In partnership with the Eli Whitney Museum and Erector Square LLC, A Broken Umbrella invites New Haven to leap into the legacy of A.C. Gilbert to explore his impact on the region and the world. abrokenumbrella.org/index.php
