Blood Type: RAGU

Blood Type: RAGU recently enjoyed an Off-Broadway successful run at the historic Actors Playhouse in NYC. Writer/Performer Frank Ingrasciotta portrays over 20 characters, a poignant coming of age story revolving around a first-generation child of Italian immigrant parents. Called "an ingratiating & enlightening production" by the New York Times, they wrote:
...peppered with portraits of colorful Sicilian relatives and Brooklyn personalities, "Blood Type: Ragu" is, among other things, an effective depiction of the breakdown of the marriage between Mr. Ingrasciotta’s working-class immigrant parents. But it has a larger mission, one maybe not surprising, yet pleasing and for some perhaps enlightening.
Mr. Ingrasciotta, the Times continued, has been shaping and polishing this piece for 11 years and definitely has a point to make about family.
