My Name Is Asher Lev
by Aaron Posner
When a young Jewish prodigy paints The Brooklyn Crucifixions, the reaction of his Orthodox community forces a terrible decision — between family and vocation, between his love for God and his desperate need to make art. A poignant coming of age story, as intimate as a family dinner and as vast as a young man’s dreams. Heartbreaking, triumphant.
Director: Morris Ertman.
Featuring: Katharine Venour, Giovanni Mocibob, and Nathan Schmidt.
SILENT ART AUCTION!

Production Sponsor: Rhema Health Products

Saw Asher Lev yesterday….it’s been a very long time since I’ve been so moved by theatre. All three characters were amazing in their emotional range — Nathan, though, was especially brilliant. It took me a few hours post-performance to regain my equilibrium, and I am left pondering themes of love, acceptance, and the resilience of the human spirit…..
