The Little & WXXI Public Broadcasting

In January 2012, The Little took an innovative step toward sustainability by entering into a parent-subsidiary relationship with WXXI Public Broadcasting. Because of this merger, we can be assured that as the downtown area and surrounding neighborhoods continue to change and grow, the Little will continue to be a bright spot in the neighborhood.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We acknowledge with respect the Seneca Nation, known as “People of the Great Hill” and “Keepers of the Western Door” of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. We take this opportunity to thank the people on whose ancestral lands the Little Theatre currently occupies and pay respects to their elders past and present.
