MY NAME IS ASHER LEV

The story of "My Name is Asher Lev" is set in post-war Brooklyn and tells the story of a young art prodigy who must reconcile his passion for painting with his life as young Hasidic Jew.  With the help of a gifted mentor, Asher reaches his full potential as an artist and learns exponentially about himself in the process.  However, Asher's religious father cannot understand the artistic path his only son has chosen.  When Asher's breakout piece causes controversy, he must decide whether to be true to himself or appease his family and community.

"My Name Is Asher Lev" is a beautiful and moving stage adaptation of Chaim Potok's beloved 1972 book.  The story takes place on a single set and features newcomer Ari Brand as the narrator and title character; two adult actors play all the other roles in the show, from Asher's art mentor to his parents to his rabbi.  The 90-minuet drama spans Asher's life from boyhood to adulthood.  Fans of the novel will be pleasantly surprised at how easily the story translates to stage and those who may not know the story will fall in love with universal tale of self discovery.
