“The Amish Project” Begins TAP Run March 3

The Amish Project

Third Avenue Playhouse (TAP) will start the 2016 season with The Amish Project, to be performed March 3 – 20.

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.

TAP’s 2015 artist-in-residence Katherine Duffy will reprise her role from last winter’s production of the play at the Milwaukee Rep.

The Amish Project contains mature themes and is not intended for children 12 and under.

Opening night is March 3 and will benefit the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Door County. A portion of the ticket price will be donated to UUF. Performances are scheduled for Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 pm, and Sundays at 2 pm. A pay-what-you-can preview performance will be March 2 at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $25 general admission and $10 students.

Third Avenue Playhouse is located at 239 N. Third Avenue in Sturgeon Bay. For more information call 920.743.1760 or visit thirdavenueplayhouse.com.
