Jonathan Groff to Star in Broadway Solo Play ‘The Amish Project,’ Inspired by Actual Tragedy Close to His Hometown

Jonathan Groff is returning to Broadway for a solo play!

The 41-year-old Tony Award winner will star in a manufacturing of The Amish Project from acclaimed playwright Jessica Dickey, directed by Sarna Lapine. Performances will begin in February 2027.

The play is described as “a deeply transferring solo play in regards to the astonishing energy of compassion within the face of unimaginable loss.”

What is The Amish Project about?

The Amish Project is a solo play impressed by the 2006 shooting at an Amish schoolhouse in Pennsylvania. Through one performer, it portrays the close-knit group’s grief and its exceptional response of compassion and forgiveness after the tragedy.

Here’s the synopsis shared by the press launch:

When tragedy shatters a close-knit Amish group, what follows is a unprecedented act of grace that challenges all the things we expect we learn about forgiveness.

Inspired by true occasions that unfolded simply minutes from the place Groff grew up, THE AMISH PROJECT is an intimate portrait of a spot and a group channeled by means of a single performer.
