Tickets are now on sale for The Amish Project, the solo play starring Jonathan Groff at the Broadhurst Theatre, and the production has named the four designers behind it. Performances begin Wednesday, February 10, 2027, for a limited engagement through Sunday, May 2, 2027.
Mikiko Suzuki MacAdams designs the set, Tom Broecker the costumes, Alan C. Edwards the lighting and Darron L. West the sound. Lisa Ann Chernoff is production stage manager, and Live Wire Theatrical is general manager. The producers are Robert Ahrens and Tom Kirdahy.
Two of the four worked with the director on her recent Broadway production. MacAdams and Broecker both designed Call Me Izzy, the new play starring Jean Smart that Sarna Lapine directed at Studio 54. Broecker’s other Broadway work includes Other Desert Cities; on television his credits run from Saturday Night Live to 30 Rock and House of Cards, and he holds seven Emmy Awards.
Edwards won a Lortel Award for lighting Harry Clarke at the Vineyard Theatre, and his West End credits include the same play. MacAdams and Edwards both teach at the Yale School of Drama. West, whose sound designs include Giant, has won a Tony Award and two Obies across a career of nearly 40 years and more than 700 productions.
The play, by Jessica Dickey, draws on the October 2006 shooting at an Amish schoolhouse in Pennsylvania, a few minutes from where Groff grew up, and on the forgiveness the community extended afterward. Groff plays every character himself. The piece began at the New York International Fringe Festival, was developed at the Cherry Lane Theatre and opened Off-Broadway at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater in 2009, and it has since become the most produced of Dickey’s plays. The casting and dates were first announced in October.
The run is Groff’s first Broadway outing since Just in Time, which Ahrens and Kirdahy also produced, and follows his Tony-winning performance in Merrily We Roll Along.
Tickets are sold through Telecharge at 212-239-6200 and on the production’s website, AmishProjectBroadway.com. The Broadhurst Theatre is at 235 West 44th Street.
