Faith and Art Collide in Theatrical Outfit’s “Asher Lev”

Theatrical Outfit‘s latest production, My Name Is Asher Lev, tells the story of a young artist’s struggle for self-expression and self-discovery in his strict, religious household.

Based on a novel by Chaim Potok, the story takes place in post-WWII Brooklyn.

WABE’s Lois Reitzes spoke with the show’s director Mira Hirsch and lead actor Nick Arapoglou about the big ideas behind the play.
