will be unveiled. What began in a rectangular room seating 150 patrons, with no stage, an upright piano, a quilt and bench for props and four actors, has grown over the last 11 years into the national home for Plain & Fancy, the longest run of the show in its history. It ran for 462 performances at the Mark Hellinger Theatre. The show was the first musical for author Joseph Stein and composer Albert Hague. Stein later created Broadway immortality with “Fiddler on the Roof,” and Hague won a Tony for “Redhead.” Both men have made pilgrimages to Amish Acres to celebrate the revival of their inaugural work. After five-years, in Nappanee, the show was moved into TTie Round Bam Theatre, created from a relocated 1911 round bam donated to Amish Acres by B.J. and Shelly Schrome. It took nine months of reconstruction which included the addition of a 32-ton tubular steel frame to satisfy codes required for the 400-seat theatre. The proscenium stage is created from the original straw shed that was added to the bam several years after its construction. Nearly 150 actors selected through auditions in New York, Chicago, Atlanta and Nappanee, have played the parts of the Miller and Yoder Families, and Dan King and Ruth Winters, in the comedy that stems from the New Yorkers’ visit to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Nearly a quarter of a million people have smiled and laughed at each year’s version of the play. The cast has grown to a resident repertory company of 11 actors, and the sets are now designed around a full scale Amish house that dominates the stage. Plain & Fancy runs from April into November, with four shows per week in the current repertory season with “The Music Man,” which is on stage through August 24.
