Jonathan Groff is returning to Broadway for a solo play!

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

The play is described as “a deeply moving solo play about the astonishing power of compassion in the face of unimaginable loss.”

What is The Amish Project about?

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

Here’s the synopsis shared by the press release:

When tragedy shatters a close-knit Amish community, what follows is an extraordinary act of grace that challenges everything we think we know about forgiveness.

Inspired by true events that unfolded just minutes from where Groff grew up, THE AMISH PROJECT is an intimate portrait of a place and a community channeled through a single performer.
