THE OLDEST BOY

By Sarah Ruhl
Directed by Cynthia Levin
The Levin Stage

August 26 – September 20, 2015

When Tibetan monks believe they’ve found the reincarnation of a high Buddhist Lama as a young American boy, his parents must decide whether to hold tight to their son or send him to India for a life of spiritual training. In this richly emotional journey filled with humor and compassion (featuring the imaginative puppetry of Paul Mesner), a family must make one life-altering choice.
