| Info/Notes: | The Amish ProjectJessica Dickey: Writer & Performer “Jessica Dickey is giving such an extraordinary performance in ‘The Amish Project’ …that she makes it easy to overlook something else: the play is also a remarkable piece of writing.” – The New York Times A fictional exploration of true events, The Amish Project is the story of a schoolhouse shooting in an Amish community, and the path of forgiveness and compassion forged in its wake. Imbued with poetry and humor, The Amish Project investigates a community grappling with loss and faith. Moving seamlessly back and forth among different characters (including the gunman, his widow, an Amish child, a news reporter, and a 16-year-old Hispanic girl), playwright and performer, Jessica Dickey deftly weaves a complex and thought-provoking web of differing perspectives in this compelling one woman show. |
