THE AMISH PROJECT on Broadway Announces Design Team; Tickets On Sale

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.

Hailed as “a remarkable piece of writing” by the NY Times and “a masterpiece” by the Chicago Sun-Times, THE AMISH PROJECT debuted at the New York International Fringe Festival and was developed at the Cherry Lane Theatre before premiering Off-Broadway at the Rattlestick Playwrights Theater in 2009. It has since become Jessica Dickey’s most-produced play, with productions at the Guthrie Theater (Minneapolis), Milwaukee Rep, American Theater Company (Chicago) and City Theatre (Pittsburgh), among others at theaters around the world.

Tony Award winner Jonathan Groff returns to Broadway following universally acclaimed, back-to-back performances in Merrily We Roll Along and Just In Time. The Wrap declared that Groff “is ready for his own solo show on any of the world’s most famous stages” and the NY Post praised his “ability to connect so deeply and personally with audiences.”
