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," The Amish Project is a devastating and beautiful one-woman performance that compels us to question the paths we take at the crossroads of grief, rage, and clemency.

"..."The Amish Project," actor-writer Jessica Dickey's must-see solo show that opened Friday at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, is something of a theatrical contradiction. Dickey, as formidable a playwright as she is a performer, tackles metaphysical subjects with power and empathy in "Amish," whose characters cope with the aftermath of a mass shooting in an insular religious community."

"...It is a sad thing for us as a culture that Dickey's play remains so relevant 10 years later, but a lucky thing for Twin Cities folks that her performance is available to us, as it's a terrific way to examine alternate perspectives and ask sobering questions about how we react to such monstrous violence."
