Mildred's Umbrella: Mildred’s Umbrella Theater Company was founded in April of 2001 by Jennifer Decker (a local actress and instructor at Houston Community College) and John Harvey (poet, playwright, professor at Houston Community College and lecturer at University of Houston). By August of that same year, Harvey’s first play, “Kama Sutra”, was written, cast and ready to open. Harvey and Decker managed to scrape together enough money between them to rent a space at Theatre New West. With borrowed set pieces and costumes from the actors own closets, the production was a success. Lee Williams of the Houston Press wrote “as raw as the company is, this production shows promise and Harvey has created a whole new genre”.
