Asher Lev can't help himself. He needs to paint. He needs to draw. Creating art is like breathing for him - he can't live without it. But growing up as a prodigy in a deeply observant Hasidic family he runs afoul of his parent's and community's traditions. He is forced to make the difficult choice between religion and art. Based on Chaim Potok's classic novel, this stunning and beautiful play was described by the Philadelphia City Paper as "a marvelous evening of theatre: intimate, sincere, magical."
