By Aaron Posner (based on the novel by Chaim Potok) March 24 - April 3, 2011 Box Office: 602.264.0402 Beauty, truth, ambition and tradition. This beautiful play tells the story of a young Hassidic artist torn between his observant Jewish community and his need to create. Difficult choices between art and faith, passion and family, course through this stirring adaptation of a modern classic, bringing to life the heartbreak and triumph of what it means to be an artist. Posner was the co-author, with Chaim Potok, of The Chosen, produced by AJTC in 2001. Directed by Layne Racowsky.
