Best-selling Amish fiction now a musical, coming to Sugarcreek summer 2012
Dutchman Hospitality Group (DHG) announced that beginning in June 2012, Carlisle Inn Sugarcreek will partner with a production company based in Nashville, Tenn. to host The Confession, a new musical based on the popular novel written by New York Times bestselling author of Amish fiction, Beverly Lewis. This new hit musical has just completed successful runs in Bird-in-Hand, Pa. and Shipshewana, Ind. with months of sold-out shows and rave reviews.
The full length, family-friendly musical, with music written and produced in Nashville and featuring professional actors and singers, wraps an Amish love story in comedy, song, mystery and deception. The musical will run from June 7 to Dec. 15, 2012 at Carlisle Inn Sugarcreek.
Mike Palmer, president of DHG said, “We are excited to offer this element of entertainment to the thousands of guests we serve as well as to the community, our friends, and our families. People of all ages and cultures will enjoy this show.”
Vicki VanNatta, marketing manager for DHG said, “When I attend trade shows, the most common question asked of me is ‘Is there anything new in your area? Now I will happily be able to answer them, ‘Yes! And you won’t want to miss it!’”
Specific dates, times and ticket prices are not yet finalized, but the public will be informed as soon as these details are complete. Beginning Jan. 16, 2012, tickets may be purchased through the Carlisle Inn Sugarcreek box office by calling 877-722-7547.
“Partnering with the production company to bring The Confession to Sugarcreek is something we are proud to do. We believe this will be a boost to our local economy and with this new offering of quality entertainment, all local businesses can and will benefit,” says Mike Palmer.
Positions will be available for candidates with professional acting and vocal experience. Casting calls and auditions will begin in January. Ten actors and actresses will be hired for the production of 124 shows throughout the season. Local talent will be considered, so watch the papers and media sources for more information regarding the location, date, and time for the auditions.
