A developmental theatre company focusing on the works of local writers, Passage Theatre’s adventurous productions push boundaries and use the arts as a palpable bridge of connection to the diverse communities of downtown Trenton. Housed at the historic Mill Hill Playhouse, the company’s annual line-up includes a three-show mainstage featuring new dramas, comedies, and musicals, as well as a popular Solo Flights series highlighting one-person plays. The troupe exercises its goal for social awareness through its Greening Festival (exploring plays dealing with the environment) and with its acclaimed Trenton Lights, a celebration of the unique heritage of local New Jersey. A Playwright’s Lab developmental reading and workshop series furthers Passage Theatre’s commitment to the encouragement of emerging playwrights, while its State Street Theatre Project, Anti-Violence Arts Initiative, and Community Performance programs keep the arts an active, vital presence within the community itself.
