1st Stage, Tysons’ premier theatre company, is proud to announce its upcoming production of The Chosen. Based on Chaim Potok’s acclaimed novel, this captivating play explores the powerful themes of friendship, faith, and the clash of two distinct worlds in post-World War II Brooklyn.
Set to grace the stage from September 28 to October 15, The Chosen promises to be a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant theatrical experience for all audiences.
A Tale of Unlikely Friendship:
The Chosen tells the story of two young Jewish boys, Reuven Malter and Daniel Saunders, whose paths cross under unusual circumstances. Despite their differing backgrounds and beliefs, an unexpected friendship blossoms, and they become inseparable. As they navigate the complexities of life, their bond is tested by their respective religious upbringings and the turbulent political landscape of the time.
An Exploration of Faith:
At its core, The Chosen delves deep into the complexities of faith. Reuven’s modern Orthodox Judaism clashes with Danny’s Hasidic upbringing, leading to questions about tradition, identity, and personal beliefs. The play provides a poignant exploration of these themes, prompting the audience to reflect on their own values and convictions.
A Journey of Self-Discovery:
As the story unfolds, audiences will witness the characters’ journeys of self-discovery and growth. The Chosen reminds us that, even in the face of adversity and differences, understanding and empathy can bridge divides and create lasting bonds.
Exceptional Talent and Production:
Under the direction of 1st Stage Artistic Director Alex Levy, 1st Stage has assembled a talented cast and crew to bring this timeless story to life. The Chosen features Sasha Olinick (previously seen in The Phlebotomist and Fly By Night), Ethan Miller (previously seen in The Last Match and Swimming with Whales), Zach Brewster-Geisz, and Jacob Pelzman-Kern. The design team includes scenic design by Nadir Bey, costume design by Rakell Foye, lighting design by William D’Eugenio, sound design and original compositions by Ethan Balis, and props design by Luke Hartwood. With meticulous attention to detail, stunning set design, and powerful performances, The Chosen promises to be a visually and emotionally immersive experience.

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
Plus, when you buy a gift certificate from Well-Paid Maids, you’re supporting a living-wage cleaning company. That means cleaners get paid a starting wage of $24 an hour and get access to benefits, like 24 days of PTO and health insurance.
