David Ives is known for his hit one-act comedies such as <em>All In
The Timing</em> and <em>Phillip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread</em>
, as
well as his multi-award-winning <em>Don Juan in Chicago</em>
. In his
semi-autobiographical surreal comedy <em>Polish Joke</em>
, he examines
cultural bias and the human condition as audiences watch a young man
named Jasiu (Justin Brenis) make increasingly desperate and absurd
attempts to hide his Polish-American heritage. The nearly twenty
characters who surround him through his heartbreaking and zany
encounters are played by just six other actors (Ken Allan, Mike Green,
Taylor Hess, Amy Pelleg, Elaine Sonnie and Bobby Thomas). As the ghosts
of his true cultural roots confront him at every turn, he learns what
it really means to be 'a Pole'. </p>
