Synopsis
Asher Lev is a young Hassidic artist torn between his observant Jewish community and his need to create. His artistic genius threatens his relationship with his parents and community and weighs heavily on his conscience. In 1999, the Arden presented Aaron Posner and Chaim Potok's co-adaptation of Potok's classic novel The Chosen to critical and audience acclaim. Posner, in consultation with Adena Potok, now introduces this world premiere based on Potok's novel, My Name is Asher Lev.

My Name is Asher Lev is a recipient of the Edgerton Foundation New American Plays Award.

Recommended for 8th/9th grade students and older.
