“The Confession Musical” is in theaters for one night only on February 20th!
“The Confession Musical” is based on the New York Times best-selling book series “The Heritage of Lancaster County,” written by Beverly Lewis and written for
the stage by Emmy-Nominated screenwriter Martha Bolton. Katie Lapp, a young
Amish girl, discovers her parents have been keeping a secret from her... she is
adopted. Katie decides to seek her birth mother, defying the rules of her Amish village and risking a shunning. Meanwhile, her wealthy birth mother, Laura Mayfield,
battling an illness that might take her life, begins searching for her long-lost daughter to bequeath her inheritance before it is too late. Secretly plotting against her is
the gold-digging husband Dylan (played by John Schneider), who is scheming to
make sure he inherits her fortune. With the help and prayers of her Christian maid-
servant (played by Chonda Pierce), they try to foil Dylan’s plan and reunite Katie
and Laura.

My Thoughts
Oh my goodness this is a fantastic performance! I didn't realize it would be three hours long but I enjoyed every minute! I read the books by Beverly Lewis years ago and they are some of my favorite Amish books. When I saw that this story became a theater production I was excited to see what they would create. Every single performer did an OUTSTANDING job in this musical. The dialogue was witty and clever and fit the story line. It is a pretty heavy story with grief and shame and anger. There is comic relief by having Chonda Pierce as the maid but also the character of Mary added a lot of laughter. I only wish I could have seen this performance in person but getting to watch it as a recording was second best!
I highly recommend and encourage you to watch this movie!
