The Chosen

**This is a mask-required performance**

September 28 - Extended through October 22!

By Aaron Posner and Chaim Potok

Directed by Alex Levy

Following a twice-extended run of My Name is Asher Lev in 2016— making it the most successful production in 1st Stage’s history— 1st Stage brings another Aaron Posner and Chaim Potok adaptation to the region.  Adapted from the well-loved novel, this critically acclaimed play takes us on a journey with two young Jewish boys as they navigate the complexities of their relationships with each other, their families, and their religion. Set against the backdrop of 1940s Brooklyn, The Chosen is a timeless story about the universal struggles of growing up and finding one's place in the world. “This production richly engages its audience in a broad range of topics, including the nature of friendship.” - Los Angeles Times
