What makes someone a true artist? Does it have to do with skill? Passion? A unique eye? Or is it about letting go of earthly things and embracing the traditions set forth by generations of artists before them? And what happens when the path to artistic enlightenment leads to a deep-seated conflict with one's values, religion, and family expectations? Such are the conflicts at the heart of Aaron Posner's MY NAME IS ASHER LEV, based on the book by Chaim Potok, which is now playing at Playhouse on Park in West Hartford, CT.

My Name is Asher Lev, the award-winning play by Aaron Posner, based on the best-selling novel by Chaim Potok, opens at Playhouse on Park on April 26. Due to strong ticket sales and many shows already close to selling out, several shows have been added to the run.
