MY NAME IS ASHER LEV by Aaron Posner adapted from the novel by Chaim Potok

November 7 - 18, 2012
From the writers who brought us THE CHOSEN comes the great story about the journey of a young Jewish man, a painter, torn between his Hassidic upbringing and his desperate need to fulfill his artistic promise. When his artistic genius threatens to destroy his relationship with his parents and community, young Asher realizes he must make a difficult choice between art and faith.

"A profound declaration of the power of storytelling on a stage." - Philadelphia Inquirer.

"Thought-provoking, humorous and deeply insightful." - Talkin' Broadway.

RABBI SAM
a comedy by Charlie Varon

January 3 - 13, 2013
Rabbi Sam Isaac wants to reinvent American Judaism, and the congregation that hires him. Some people love the new rabbi. Some can’t stand him. And, of course, some can’t stand each other. Funny, moving, bursting with energy and ideas, RABBI SAM is a play for Jews, Gentiles and anyone who has ever attended a meeting.

“Wildly entertaining… skillfully blends hilarity with serious food for thought.” - San Francisco Chronicle
"Charlie Varon's visionary Rabbi Sam leaves audiences rapt." -SF Weekly
"Riveting" - J Weekly

JACOB AND JACK
a comedy by James Sherman

February 27 - March 10, 2013 Jack Shore is appearing for one night only in a tribute to his grandfather, Jacob Shemerinsky, great star of the Yiddish Theatre. Backstage in his dressing room, Jack confronts his challenges as an actor and as a husband to his co-starring wife. Simultaneously, 75 years in the past, Jacob has problems of his own. A dizzying display of life in the theatre in this time-traveling farce.

“Time transcending… beautifully showcased humor… witty with a shmeer of the absurd." - ChicagoTheaterBlog.com.
"A beguiling comic love letter to the American theater and its Yiddish roots to... a whole lot of laugh-out-loud escapades." - Chicago Sun-Times.
