Land Acknowledgement Statement

Studio Theatre Worcester operates in Worcester, MA on land originally inhabited by the Indigenous people of the Nipmuc tribal nation.  We acknowledge the painful history of genocide, selling into slavery, land theft, forced removal from this territory, and forced relocation onto reservations.  We are grateful for the long history of stewardship of this land by the Nipmuc people, which predates written record, and we honor and respect the many diverse Indigenous peoples still connected to this land on which we gather.
