About the event
Vanishing Elephant Players presents Polish Joke by David Ives! A comedy about ethnic identity and the eternal American search for roots. Jasiu is a Polish-American who has been taught not to value his roots, so he decides to make his own, reinventing himself multiple times. Jasiu is also bedeviled by a reappearing Polish relative and has to face off with the ghost of a dead Polish patriot. In the end, by trying to get away from his ethnic background, Jasiu finds out who he is and what it means to be “a Pole."
