Review: THE AMISH PROJECT at Venice Theatre
by Jacob Ruscoe - Nov 28, 2025
The Amish Project at Venice Theatre is a profoundly moving piece of theatrical storytelling—one that asks its audience not merely to witness but to listen. Jessica Dickey’s acclaimed play, inspired by the 2006 Nickel Mines schoolhouse tragedy, has long been celebrated for its blend of narrative poetry, emotional restraint, and deep humanity. Venice Theatre’s production honors that tradition while adding its own vivid account of the story.
