Hunters Hill Theatre acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we rehearse and perform. We pay our respects to elders past who have shared language, culture and tradition and are the original storytellers on these lands. We also pay our respect to elders present and emerging, and we extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with whom we work and share stories.
