Polish Joke at Central Square Theater

Hailed by The New York Times as the "maestro of the short form," playwright and author David Ives (All in the Timing) describes Polish Joke as his most shamelessly autobiographical work. But the final product is definitely nothing to be ashamed of. A comic and poignant send-up of identity, ethnic stereotypes and the never-ceasing American search for "roots," the show follows Polish-American Jasiu as he struggles to overcome the perceived limitations of his ancestry. Enjoy all of his ensuing hilarious -- and sometimes surreal -- encounters in this Titanic Theatre Company production of Polish Joke at Central Square Theatre.
