Tickets can be purchased HERE.  Online general admission tickets are $17 for adults and  $12 tickets for students and seniors. Tickets at the door are $2 extra. 

The play focuses on an Amish family who tries to hold on to their faith after a stranger shatters their peaceful existence and their estranged daughter returns, cracking open the family’s tragic history. 

Director Kimberly Taylor was interested in this play because of its complex themes.  “Everything is Wonderful asks us to consider — how do we provide support for healing while also offering each other the opportunity for redemption?  This play is heartbreaking and beautiful and unexpectedly funny.”

The cast includes, in alphabetical order: Jack Gross-Whitaker (Thurs, Sat @2), Jake Hanke (Thurs, Fri, Sat @2), Jonas Kra-Caskey (Thursday, Sat. @2pm), Miranda Long, Eden Lorin, Callan Mitchell (Fri, Sat @7), Andres Roberts (Sat. @7), Charles White (Friday, Sat @7), and Isabella Wire. 

Show times are Thursday, March 16 at 7 p.m., Friday, March 17 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, March 18 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.  Performances are in the new Alan Harvey Theater at Piedmont High School at 800 Magnolia Avenue, Piedmont. 

Tickets can be purchased HERE.  Online general admission tickets are $17 for adults and  $12 tickets for students and seniors. Tickets at the door are $2 extra.
