The Amish Project is a fictional exploration of the Nickel Mines schoolhouse shooting in an Amish community, and the path of forgiveness and compassion forged in its wake.
Also available for an ensemble cast.
A single actress performs all of the roles in the play. Distinctions between characters are made by changes in the tonal qualities and pitch of the actress’ voice; through her stance, posture, and gesture. She glides fluidly from one personality to the next.
