Lakewood, OH-- The Beck Center for the Arts presents Polish
Joke, written by David Ives, opening April 8, 2005 and running through
May 1 in the Studio Theater. "The play is a set of increasingly
fanciful dream sequences, which afflict a man on the run from his true
identity" says New York theatre critic, Jacques le Sourd.
A satirical look at the extremes of political incorrectness
and stereotype, Polish Joke tells the tale of Jasiu Sadlowski, a
Polish-American boy whose uncle teaches him that all Polish jokes are
true. It occurs to young Jasiu to escape ridicule he must adopt a new
nationality. A sardonic yet non-offensive look at views of diversity in
America, Polish Joke is a brilliant comedy with universal significance.
Le Sourd calls Polish Joke "the best work to date by David Ives, author
of 'All in the Timing' and 'Time Flies.'"
Directed by Jerrold Scott, the production features Greg Wenz as Jasiu
and ensemble members John Busser, Leslie Feagan, Sheila Meloney, and Kim
Weston. The Beck Center's production of Polish Joke is sponsored by
LakewoodBuzz.com, Cleveland Scene Magazine and 90.3 WCPN ideastreamsm.
Show times are Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. and Sundays at 3:00
