WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Blood Type: RAGU, a one-man show featuring over 20 characters, is based on the life experiences of writer/performer Frank Ingrasciotta. It tells the humorous and poignant story of a Sicilian immigrant family and their cultural struggle in America. The story takes us through four turbulent, yet comical decades as Frank jockeys between two cultures - his parent's old world views and the new world, a.k.a. America. Blood Type: RAGU is not just a comedy, not just a drama - it's family - and we all have one. Ted Sod directs.

During the first half of the show, the performer depicts his childhood as a sort of screwball existence. Mom is a woman who dotes on him excessively while attempting to navigate life in her adoptive country. Her English is poor -- she uses flatware that's "steelless stain" -- and she has to deal with an overbearing husband, who can strike fear into not only her heart, but those of his children.
