In David Ives 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>

is a musical quite unlike any other. It parodies the government, big
business, and even Broadway itself - audiences familiar with staples
like <em>Fiddler On The Roof</em>
, <em>West Side Story</em>
, <em>Big
River</em> and <em>Sweet Charity</em> are sure to roar with laughter
at the skewed and skewering musical attacks. Songs such as "Too Much
Exposition", "Don't Be The Bunny" and "It's a Privilege to Pee" are
sure to have you doubled over... and that's only Act 1!</p>

style="margin: 15px; font-family: georgia,serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 1em; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;">In
2002, <em>Urinetown</em> won three Tony Awards: Best Director (John
Rando), Best Original Score (Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis), and Best
Book of a Musical (Greg Kotis). It was also nominated for an additional
seven Tonys, including Best Musical and Best Orchestrations.</p>

inspired by coin-operated public toilets in Europe, writer Greg Kotis
and composer Mark Hollman fling audiences into one of the most
irreverent, clever, and hilariously savage satires ever set to music.
In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year
draught, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The
citizens are forced to use public amenities which are regulated by a
malevolent, profiteering bureaucracy called U.G.C. (Urine Good
Company). Those who break the rules are sent away to a Guantanamo-like
prison called 'Urinetown'. Finally, one brave young man named Bobby
decides he's had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to
freedom!</p>
