I want to reiterate what a fantastic experience La Mama Umbria was last summer. Everything about it was perfect, from the food, to the extra excursions, to the wonderful people and incredibly stimulating workshops, to the magic of the place itself. – Joanna Gerdy, 2015
I just spent two incredible weeks at La Mama International in Umbria, Italy with some of the greatest artists I’ve ever met. A truly transformative and cathartic experience. Every actor, writer and director worked so hard, and shared so much of themselves that it heightened the entire experience. The location was picturesque and two weeks of the best food of my life. – Don Cabreana, 2015
I’m so much happy and confident and I know that La MaMa had so much to do with this! It was such a healing and creative experience!! I really don’t have words to describe the incredible time I had there! – Ines Braun, 2015
