COMEDY - Jasiu recounts all the ways in which–from the age of a young boy to his current middle age–he learned about, tried to hide, avoided, denied and finally embraced his ethnic and national heritage.  His odyssey starts, innocently enough, in the Polish working class neighborhood of Chicago called “The Bush.” This wonderfully un-PC adventure of ethnic identity in America explores the dilemma of finding out who you are and where you come from–and where you go from there!  Like its hero’s quest, the experience of this play is a voyage of discovery.  Make sure you see it, or the Polish joke will be on you!
