About Us
We created Passing Words because we wanted to create theatre that gives witness to lives that may otherwise have never been recognized. Based on interviews and first-hand personal experiences we collaborate to create a performance piece that will leave a legacy so these lives will not be forgotten.
Lena Mullins and Richard Ciccarone, have a long history of collaboration in creative projects centered around theatre. With his background as a writer, director and producer in theatre, film and television, Richard provides a grounding vision and direction. A drama therapist with a performance background, Lena offers insight and guidance and leads with the belief in the healing benefits of theatrical expression.

Eugenio Solinas
Jeffery's extraordinary story of survival and endurance, from pronounced privilege to homelessness while facing terminal illness, and his search for answers to this existence led him to make art and to create an enduring legacy. His writings are a product of his remarkable life journey and his unfaltering search for meaning.
The JMJ Project strives to give witness to his life while also exploring themes of social justice, identity, and what it is to be seen and understood. From this mission Passing Words was born.
