Teatron Jewish Theatre has announced that its 2012-2013 season will include MY NAME IS ASHER LEV, RABBI SAM, and JACOB AND JACK.

MY NAME IS ASHER LEV
by Aaron Posner
adapted from the novel by Chaim Potok

November 7 - 18, 2012

From the writers who brought us THE CHOSEN comes the great story about the journey of a young Jewish man, a painter, torn between his Hassidic upbringing and his desperate need to fulfill his artistic promise. 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.

RABBI SAM
a comedy by Charlie Varon

January 3 - 13, 2013

Rabbi Sam Isaac wants to reinvent American Judaism, and the congregation that hires him. Some people love the new rabbi. Some can't stand him. And, of course, some can't stand each other. Funny, moving, bursting with energy and ideas, RABBI SAM is a play for Jews, Gentiles and anyone who has ever attended a meeting.

JACOB AND JACK

a comedy by James Sherman

February 27 - March 10, 2013

Jack Shore is appearing for one night only in a tribute to his grandfather, Jacob Shemerinsky, great star of the Yiddish Theatre. Backstage in his dressing room, Jack confronts his challenges as an actor and as a husband to his co-starring wife. Simultaneously, 75 years in the past, Jacob has problems of his own. A dizzying display of life in the theatre in this time-traveling farce.
