Blood Type: Ragu
Blood Type: RAGU is a wonderfully funny and genuinely moving one-man play exploring a first-generation immigrant child’s delicate dance between culture, identity, and forgiveness. Writer/Performer Frank Ingrasciotta gives a tour-de-force portrayal of over 20 characters who live, love and laugh, in this fast-paced journey that is not just a comedy, not just a drama — It’s family -- and we all have one! The show delighted audiences Off-Broadway at the Actors’ Playhouse in NYC receiving a glowing New York Times review. It has continued to tour nationally and internationally. Blood Type: RAGU is the recipient of the Westchester Council Arts Award for Outstanding Artist, a Sons of Italy Recognition Award, and the winner of two United Solo Award for Best Comic Actor and Best Comedic Script (nominated alongside Fiona Shaw, Bette Midler, Hugh Jackman & John Leguizamo). It also performed for Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the NY State Legislators where it received honors on the house floor of the New York State Capital. Blood Type: RAGU is also chronicled and analyzed in Prof. Fred Gardaphe’s book, From Wiseguys to Wisemen: The Gangster and Italian-American Masculinities.
