Vision
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement and Land Acknowledgement:
The Philipstown Depot Theatre is actively working to foster a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and access within our theatre and our community at large. We are committed to being an organization that honors, respects, and features all voices.
The Philipstown Depot Theatre acknowledges that it operates on ancestral land of the Lenape, Munsee, and Wappinger peoples. We honor the many diverse indigenous peoples still connected to this area and are grateful for their stewardship of this land.
These statements draw on work done by colleagues at The Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, The 2nd Stage Theatre, Steppenwolf Theatre, among others.
