Head to the theatre with a gift certificate for 2 tickets to My Name is Asher Lev, running from Marth 17 to April 11, 2010 at the Roundhouse Theatre in Bethesda, MD.

The play, adapted by Aaron Posner, is based on the visionary novel of the same name by Chaim Potok (whose other novels include The Chosen). Possessing a prodigious artistic ability, Asher Lev is compulsively driven to draw and paint the world he sees and feels. Born into a Hasidic family in post-World War II Brooklyn, his artistic genius threatens to estrange him from both his parents and his community. Asher’s journey is by turns heartbreaking and exultant as he must choose between art and faith.
