Land Acknowledgement

Passage Theatre Company would like to acknowledge that the Mill Hill Playhouse sits on the traditional land of the Lenni-Lenape tribe past and present, and we honor with gratitude the land itself and the people who have stewarded it throughout the generations. Please take a moment to consider the many legacies of violence, displacement, migration, and settlement that bring us to where we are today, and join us in our commitment to learning how to be better stewards of the land we inhabit as well.
