The Amish Project
About the Show
This spring, Tony Award® winner Jonathan Groff returns to Broadway in a tour de force performance in THE AMISH PROJECT, a deeply moving solo play about the astonishing power of compassion in the face of unimaginable loss.
When tragedy shatters a close-knit Amish community, what follows is an extraordinary act of grace that challenges everything we think we know about forgiveness.
Inspired by true events that unfolded just minutes from where Groff grew up, THE AMISH PROJECT is an intimate portrait of a place and a community channeled through a single performer. Written by acclaimed playwright Jessica Dickey and directed by Sarna Lapine (Sunday in the Park with George), this remarkable story invites us to reflect on how, even in the darkest of hours, our shared humanity endures.
