Live Theatre Workshop will present “My Name Is Asher Lev” by Aaron Posner, adapted from the novel by Chaim Potok, through Nov. 12, with a preview performance Oct. 7.
Set in post-war Brooklyn, “My Name Is Asher Lev” is the story of a boy’s passionate desire to follow his muse and be a painter — against the will of his family, his community and his tradition. Potok’s 1972 novel received rave reviews; the play has also drawn critical acclaim.
Performances will be held Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. For tickets, call 327-4242 or visit livetheatreworkshop.org.
