What happens when who you are and who you are meant to be are fundamentally at odds?
What happens when your personal truth runs counter to the universal Truth you were taught?
And what if your effort to reconcile those tensions made you both celebrated... and shunned?
Discover the answers when you immerse yourself in the colors of Chaim Potok’s powerful story of a Hasidic boy born to be an artist…
Asher Lev has a calling to be a great artist. But to his insular Hasidic community, his passion is more than rebellion; it’s heresy. Torn between tradition and talent, between the call of his heritage and the cry of his soul, Asher wrestles with family and canvas in a fight to paint his truth no matter the cost.
The acclaimed novel about Asher Lev’s passionate struggle to remain true to himself while staying true to his people and his faith is brought to life in Aaron Posner’s lyrical adaptation, presented in Theatre Ariel’s signature concert-reading style Salon Series.
