The Umbrella Man

With Director + Reception following

Developed for both stage and screen by Point Park University, the drama is set in Pittsburgh circa 1983. Peter and Annie Brennan face the tragic death of their young son and the subsequent acquittal of his killer. This kindles an obsession with conspiratorial theories in Peter that threatens his sanity and his marriage. He becomes fixated with the legend of the “umbrella man,” a possible suspect in the Kennedy assassination among theorists. From the Moose Lodge in Swissvale to Dealey Plaza in Dallas, this terrific film features Lisa Ann Goldsmith, Patty Fromm, Phil Nardozzi, Nancy Mimless, and Production Consultant Adrienne Wehr, who plays Annie’s sister.
