Director Donald Alsedek and a uniformly excellent cast explore forgiveness and its effects... and side effects
City Theatre Company is excited to introduce a series of Pay-What-You-Want performances throughout the 2015/16 Season.
A brilliant meditation on radical kindness. When faced with the most terrible of atrocities, what do you do? For most of us, the first instinct is for justice, or even revenge. For the Amish of Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania, however, the response to a shooting in their schoolhouse was forgiveness. Jessica Dickey's THE AMISH PROJECT, a Bleeding Heard Theatre production presented in association with Pacific Theatre, is a fictional exploration of the real-life shooting in an Amish school in Nickel Mines, and the instant forgiveness offered by the affected community to the gunman and his family.

As playwright Jessica Dickey reveals in her notes in the program, THE AMISH PROJECT is a fictionalized realization of an actual event that occurred in Nickel Mines, which has an Amish community. There, several female children were senselessly gunned down in their school room by a very troubled man who then killed himself. There is more to the story, and a simple search on the internet will reveal even more gruesome details. In fact, you'll find out that school shootings have, sadly, been going on for hundreds of years. This is not a new phenomenon, but a disturbing one nonetheless. Dickey explains that the schoolhouse no longer exists, but was razed by the Amish community and designated as a grazing area with three maple trees being the only reminder of the place where the tragedy happened. To maintain their anonymity, Dickey creates characters who are meant to represent various individuals, and gives us an unflinching glimpse into the scene that took place, while also respecting their privacy and helping us to better understand the surprising sense of forgiveness and acceptance that the Amish practice, even if others still find their ways to be unusual in this modern age we live in. Mustard Seed Theatre opens their season with this intensely powerful and moving work, and it's required viewing for any fan of exceptional theatre.
