The Segal Centre will present My Name Is Asher Lev by Aaron Posner, directed by Steven Schipper from September 11 to October 2.

Co-produced by the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre, the play is based on Chaim Potok’s novel and tells the story of a young Hasidic man with a passion for painting that threatens to tear apart his family and community.

The play won the 2012 Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Play.

A pre-show lecture is on Sunday, September 11 at 11a.m.

Interact with the creators and actors of the play after the curtain goes down Mondays, September 19 and 26.
