The Playhouse sits on land once forcibly taken from the Paugussett people.
The Westport Country Playhouse acknowledges the indigenous peoples and nations of the Paugussett that stewarded the land and waterways of Westport, Connecticut. We honor and respect the enduring relationship that exists between these peoples and nations and this land.
It is our goal to do more than just print the words above. We want to understand the history of this land long before the theater opened in 1931, and long before the barn was built as a tannery in 1865.
In September 2020, we began our research into the history and displacement of the indigenous people of Connecticut. We wish to form an ongoing relationship with these peoples and current tribal communities. Our goal is to be able to honor their cultural heritage as well as their present-day stories.
We will be sharing what we learn with the Playhouse family. We welcome all to join us on this path and help us build a stronger community in the future.
