Reviews
“My Name is Asher Lev is phenomenal.” “Where does one find their identity, and then once it is found, what do we do with it? Potok and Outcry Theatre answer this question in this amazing production.” “Asher Lev was played by Bryce Lederer and was remarkable. Lederer’s raw passion flowed from every ounce of his being and was breath taking. Every single monologue dripped with authenticity and Lederer’s eyes were the window to Asher’s emotions.”
-Angela Newby, John Garcia's The Column

My Name is Asher Lev was presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.
