We are pleased to announce auditions for our first show of the 2026 - 2027 season. 

What does forgiveness look like in the face of the unimaginable?

The Burlington Players invite actors to audition for The Amish Project, a powerful and deeply human play inspired by the Nickel Mines schoolhouse tragedy and the extraordinary response of the Amish community.

We are seeking actors who understand the power of listening, presence, storytelling, and collective work for our upcoming production of The Amish Project (Ensemble Version).

This production asks actors to move fluidly between narration, character, memory, and community. The ensemble becomes the world of the play.

We are especially seeking:

• Strong male actors for ensemble roles

• A Latina teen actress to portray AMERICA

• Actors comfortable with emotionally grounded, collaborative storytelling

This is not traditional realism.
This is shared storytelling.
This is theatre built through connection.

Ensemble actors in this production will portray:
• Members of the Amish community
• Family members
• Reporters
• First responders
• Schoolchildren
• Community voices
• Witnesses to tragedy and forgiveness

No monologues are required.
Actors will read selected sides from the script.

If you are looking for meaningful theatrical work that values truth, humanity, and ensemble collaboration, we encourage you to audition.
