  Polish Joke - And Other Plays

  A collection of four works from the American playwright known as “wizardly . . . magical and funny . . . a master of language” (The New York Times).   This collection brings together four full-length plays from the same dazzling pen that produced the one-act comic masterpieces of All in the Timing.  Polish Joke is about a young Polish-American’s trip through ethnic stereotypes. Nine-year-old Midwesterner Jan Bogdan Sadlowski, nicknamed Jasiu, is told by his uncle that Poles are thought to be “backward, stupid, inept, and gloomy.” The only way out is for Jasiu “to impersonate someone not Polish.”   In Don Juan in Chicago, a Renaissance innocent makes a deal with the devil, only to become a reluctant Latin lover.  Ancient History is a comedy-drama about the holy war that breaks out when two people from two very different cultures fall in love.  The Red Address paints a searing portrait of a man with a secret who is forced by tragedy into self-revelation.  Praise for David Ives   “A pitcher with a great many tricks up his sleeve. He throws like an all-star . . . mixing comedic moods and styles with a dizzying assortment of changeups.” —The New York Times  Polish Joke   “Ives skillfully climbs the slippery slope of political incorrectness without a single mean-spirited stumble.” —CurtainUp  Don Juan in Chicago   “Ives invents an irresistible premise and has fun making good on its promise.” —Los Angeles Times  Ancient History   “A riveting theatrical experience.” —Show Business  The Red Address “Mix Glengarry Glen Ross with Glen or Glenda . . . A tough-talking drama that mixes business sharks, blackmail, cross-dressing and murder.” —Variety

  In "Necessary Rebirths: A Collection of Poems and Prose for Awakening," poet and writer Nicole M. Long explores her journey through depression, anxiety, and all of life's in-between stages. Sometimes dark and mostly self-affirming, these poems about life and the resiliency of self-love gives readers a glimpse into a life unraveling in perfect synchronicity. 
  "One day, I woke up, and I didn't recognize my life," the author remarked when discussing the book during a private reading. "I had all these things to show for a life well-lived, but I wasn't happy...I couldn't help but think, 'Wow, is this all there is to life?'" 
  The author describes this book as a coming of age, one where an objective view produced the launching pad for making peace with the past and commanding a brighter future. Written over three years, this collection of 122 poems and prose circumvents convention and aims for honesty and authenticity. 
  Through shorter pieces like "i belong to no one," and "one source," Nicole laments at the assumed responsibility that comes with taking part in an interdependent family and the notion that we all originate from the same God-like energy. While longer pieces like "intimacy and me," and "keeper of self" shows the author's growth in accepting accountability for herself and the chaos she brought into the lives of others. 
  Nicole concludes "Rebirths" ends on a lighter note to remind us that pure magic unfolds when we slow down and silence the noise of our minds.
