Asher must be a painter despite his faith and the will of family

This award-winning play by Aaron Posner, based on the best-selling novel by Chaim Potok, tells the story of Asher Lev, a young Jew growing up in post-war Brooklyn whose artistic talent is apparent from an early age.
He can’t imagine himself doing anything else and must create art at any cost, regardless of the will of his family, his community and tradition. 

By Aaron Posner
Adapted from the novel by Chaim Potok
Directed by Jim Jack
