Award-winning actor and playwright Frank Ingrasciotta performs excerpts from his acclaimed solo play Blood Type: RAGU. The 2009 off-Broadway production has continued to tour with more than 1,200 performances nationally and internationally in more than 125 venues. This year the play celebrates being published and licensed by Next Stage Press and made available for purchase. Blood Type: RAGU is a hilarious and affecting coming-of-age story. A one-man play of twenty-two characters, it explores a second-generation immigrant child’s delicate dance between searching for identity, embracing culture, and understanding forgiveness.
“Transcending stereotypes, Ingrasciotta is a master of comedic and dramatic balance.”
