Following his show Just for Us at Steppenwolf Theatre, Tony- and Emmy Award-winning comedian Alex Edelman returns with a new show, What Are You Going to Do, playing five performances only, August 12-16, in Steppenwolf’s Downstairs Theater.

This new show, another dissection of identity, finds the Bostonian questioning if he should spend his time doing something else, such as saving lives like his physician father or returning to the sense of community he experienced growing up among Israelis and Palestinians.
