[Capdist-auditions] Staged reading audition.

[Dianne O'Neill]

Auditions are announced for a staged reading of:
MY NAME IS ASHER LEV by Aaron Posner
adapted from the novel by Chaim Potok.

This play is presented as part of the Jewish Cultural Festival.

The play follows the journey of a young Jewish painter, torn between his
Hasidic upbringing and his desperate need to fill his artistic promise.
When his artistic genius threatens to destroy his relationship with his

choice between art and faith. This stirring adaptation of a modern classic
presents a heartbreaking and triumphant vision of what it means to be an
artist and a man of faith.
