In October of 2006, a gunman entered the West Nickel Mines schoolhouse in a village in Bart Township, Lancaster, Pennsylvania and opened fire before turning the gun on himself. Through the stories of these imagined characters, Jessica Dickey explores unconditional forgiveness and reconciliation within the Amish community in the wake of this tragedy.<\/p><p>From cast member and stage manager to costume construction and lighting design, UMW students have taken front seat roles in the theatre production, directed by Stull. Scenic design is by assistant professor Michael Benson, and costume design is by associate professor Kevin McCluskey. Lighting and sound design are by guest designers Catherine Girardi and Jon K. Reynolds, respectively.<\/p><p><em>The Amish Project<\/em> was originally written and performed by Jessica Dickey as a one-woman, multiple character show, which premiered at the New York International Fringe Festival in 2008. After being workshopped, the play opened Off-Broadway in 2009, and has since been adapted for an ensemble.<\/p><p>For more information, call the Klein Theatre Box Office at 540-654-1111 or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.FredTix.com\">www.FredTix.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A generation ago, Broadway responded to rocketing ticket prices with a &ldquo;rush line,&rdquo; helping bring New York theatre back into the mainstream.
