Photo Flash: First Look at Cape Rep Theatre's MY NAME IS ASHER LEV

Cape Rep opens it's 2016 season with the Cape Cod premiere of My Name is Asher Lev, by Aaron Posner, adapted from the acclaimed novel by Chaim Potok. This gripping drama tells the story of a young man in post-war Brooklyn whose budding artistic genius threatens to destroy his relationship with his strict orthodox faith and his deeply religious parents. Adapted from the best selling novel by Chaim Potok (author of The Chosen) and winner of the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best New Off Broadway play My Name is Asher Lev asks how can you choose between art and faith when your soul cries out for both?

Associate Artistic Director, Maura Hanlon, directs. Set Designer Ryan McGettigan reunites with Hanlon after many successful collaborations, most recently with last season's Failure: A Love Story, and are joined by Lighting Designer William Sammons.

The company features an impressive line up of actors including Marty Brent, last seen in Cape Rep's Next to Normal, as Asher, Amanda Collins, from our world premiere production of Good Bye, Mary Rose, as The Women and Neil McGarry as The Men, last seen in Steel Pier.
