The Amish Project

by Jessica Dickey
directed by Melanie Keller
performed by Lydia Berger Gray
April 11 & 12 @ 8:00 PM

First Folio is proud to present a special two-night performance of one of the most moving projects we’ve ever produced. The Amish Project is a fictional exploration of the 2006 Nickel Mines schoolhouse shooting in an Amish community, and the path of forgiveness and compassion forged in its wake. This one-woman play, featuring artistic associate Lydia Berger Gray, explores the wake of this tragedy through the eyes of 7 different characters, ranging from one of the victims to the wife of the gunman. This timely and thought-provoking work is something not to be missed.

“Extraordinary… compelling.” —New York Times

Jeeves Saves the Day

January 29 – March 1, 2020

Once again, Bertie finds himself suffering the slings and arrows of misfortune at the hands of his relatives, caught between the magisterial machinations of his fierce Aunt Agatha and the plaintive pleadings of his cousin Egbert. Throw in the imperious Sir Roderick Glossup (who fully expects his daughter Honoria to save Bertie from his ill-advised bachelorhood) and you’ve got another priceless predicament that cannot be overcome…unless one calls upon the redoubtable Jeeves to save the day.
