The Chosen

Chaim Potok’s beloved novel about the conflict between two religious families is brought to the stage in this sparkling new adaptation by Potok himself. Reuven Malter is a modern Orthodox teenager who declares war on Danny Saunders, a Chasidic Orthodox teen who gets the best of Reuven in a killer game of sandlot baseball. The heart-rending story of friendship that follows will shed light and warmth in this gleaming, streamlined rendition of one of the seminal works in American Jewish literature.
