Theatrical Outfit to Present MY NAME IS ASHER LEV, 8/22-9/16

Possessing a prodigious artistic ability, Asher Lev is driven to draw and paint the world as he sees it. Born into a Hasidic family in post-World War II Brooklyn, his artistic genius threatens to estrange him from both his parents and his observant Jewish community.
