MY NAME IS ASHER LEV 
“As he narrates the events that led to his double-edged status as celebrated artist and community pariah, Schuchman shifts adroitly among Asher’s several selves, jumping back and forth from adulthood to various stages of his youth in 1940s Brooklyn and back to adulthood.
With a turbulent energy churning beneath his words, Schuchman is convincing as an artist trying to somehow express what is, he knows, fundamentally inexpressible. Asher sees everything as art-in-the-making.” – BOSTON GLOBE
“But Jason Schuchman as Asher is the real magnet here, ranging comfortably from the 6-year-old boy who doesn’t understand why drawings upset grown-ups to the adult artist who is as compelled to paint what he feels as he is to worry about how his parents will react to those paintings. Schuchman is so sincere in his susceptibility to the agonies of others, so trapped in his own competing emotions, that you won’t be able NOT to feel his pain.” – CAPECOD ONLINE
“And then there’s the appealing Jason Schuchman who delivered Asher Lev at every age, vibrant, curious, and poignantly torn between his family and his art.” – JOYCE KULHAWIK
“Chief among the reasons to recommend MY NAME IS ASHER LEV is the performance of Schuchman in the title role. He inhabits the artist from childhood into manhood, demonstrating the passion for his gift as well as his innate devotion to his Hasidic upbringing, and how he constantly seeks to reconcile the two.” – BROADWAY WORLD
“As Asher, Jason Schuchman shows considerable skill in taking us back and forth in time to his character’s life, as a youngster discovering his world and talent, and as a young man, learning to navigate his way in the secular world just over the Brooklyn Bridge.” – EDGE BOSTON
“There can be few trickier challenges for an actor than keeping an audience emotionally engaged while constantly stepping in and out of the moment. That’s actor Jason Schuchman’s challenge in the play’s title role. He must take us with him both as the boy living the events that shape him and the man relating them to us years later. He does. Schuchman enlivens each piece of narration as realization being found in the present. The scenes he then dramatizes therefore, never feel like a story interrupted, but rather like the imagistic raw materials of memory from which he will strive to draw as narrator.” – BLAST MAGAZINE
LOBBY HERO
“It would be hard to overstate how captivating Schuchman is to watch…The actor makes the insecure security guard a man for whom tentativeness has become a way of life.” – WASHINGTON CITY PAPER
“Jason Schuchman as Jeff is excellent as the immature security guard. In the course of two and a half hours, he manages to evoke amusement, annoyance, and sympathy.” – TALKIN’ BROADWAY
“Jeff is a terrific creation — earnest but slow, and funny because he wants to be liked. It’s a touching mixture, and Schuchman (who played the role to acclaim in Boston) has his repertoire of bashful looks and hopeful wisecracks down pat.” – WASHINGTON POST
“Sharp comic performances underline how these people are cracked. Artistic director Dan (Jason Schuchman) bounces like a puppy when he imagines Integrity’s next snoozer of a show.” – VARIETY
MODERN ORTHODOX
“Mr. Schuchman has a more demanding task of making Hershel less cartoony and one-dimensional. Through Mr.Goldfarb giving him scenes and speeches that juxtapose between the downright loony (Schuchman has Hershel gagging at one particular standout scene when Ms.Jones’s Hannah says the word “Vagina”) and the
heartfelt (of confessing to Rachel about his out-ofbody experience with a first kiss) he is able to command a presence that is truly an innocent who has
discovered love and his body for the first time.” – BROADWAY WORLD
“Hershel Klein is well played overall by Jason Schuchman. His character is deceptively more complex than the pat version of the lovable schmuck.” – TALKIN’ BROADWAY
“As Hershel, Schuchman gives the over-the-top performance that neurotic, reactionary Hershel deserves, athletically crab-walking backward across the stage to avoid shaking a woman’s hand.” MIAMI NEW TIMES
NEVER TELL
“This production, however, directed by Drew DeCorleto, leaves no raw emotion untapped, and makes a strong case for the play as an allegorical look at the perils of an overwrought, overtechnical, overanalyzed world. So you strongly feel the achievement of research analyst Manny (Jason Schuchman), who has devised a system to tabulate all variables of human personality into a new communication-database system.” – TALKIN’ BROADWAY
“I wish NEVER TELL featured more of Schuchman’s Manny, a character who has the most emotional notes to hit but too little dramatic space in which to hit them. Had Christy structured the play differently, with Manny as more of a mainstay throughout, he would have been a more compelling figure. Still, Schuchman does great work and is certainly one to watch.” – OFF OFF ONLINE
“Jason Schuchman evokes empathy as the beleaguered Manny, whose identity is finally and totally negated.” – BACKSTAGE
