A standing-room-only hit wherever it has played, this award-winning
adaptation from the award-winning novel is the story of two boys,
two fathers and two very different Jewish communities

Living “five blocks and a world apart”�in Williamsburgh, Brooklyn, in the 1940s. Set against the backdrop of WW II, the revelation of the Holocaust, and the desperate struggle of Zionism, The Chosen remains not essentially political or religious but deeply human

Reuven Malter and Danny Saunders are both passionate and intelligent young men. When Reuven is injured by Danny during a heated baseball game between their rival yeshivas, a unique friendship is born

As the boys grow to manhood, they are forced to learn important lessons about each other, their fathers and themselves. This is a story of friendship, family and difficult choices that we must all make on the path to understanding, respect and reconciliation

“� moving � examines the freedom that comes with the passage from childhood to adulthood�intellectual freedom, religious freedom, America’s promise of freedom” ~ Philadelphia Weekly
