When his artistic genius threatens to destroy his relationship with his parents and community, young Asher realizes he must make a difficult choice between art and faith.

This stirring adaptation of a modern classic presents a heartbreaking and triumphant vision of what it means to be an artist.

The cast includes Curtiss Johns as Asher Lev, Albert Banker as The Men and Jacqueline Garcia as The Women.

Aaron Posner has written and adapted about 20 plays including "Life Sucks" and "Stupid F***king Bird," both irreverent variations on plays by Anton Chekhov, a new family musical called "The Gift of Nothing," adaptations of Chaim Potok's "The Chosen" and "My Name is Asher Lev". He is a founder and former Artistic Director of Philadelphia's Arden Theatre and has directed at major regional theaters from coast to coast.
