Death and Forgiveness at an Amish School

Conceived in the wake of the 2006 school shootings in the Amish community of Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania, Jessica Dickey’s fictional exploration of a real-life tragedy allows us to glimpse into the world of Amish culture and to come to grips with the true limits of compassion and forgiveness. Praised by The New York Times as “extraordinary…remarkable…compelling,” THE AMISH PROJECT is a devastating and beautiful exploration with an ensemble of performers conjuring several characters, from gunman to victims, that delves into the stories that tie these lives together, as well as the path of forgiveness and compassion forged in the midst of tragedy.

Featuring an award-winning cast: Larry Helms, Sara Catherine Barnes, Darian Henne, Chris Eubanks, Cerriah Delgado, and young but equally talented, Eva Martin and Grace Brixa.
