A HYSTERICAL, PROVOCATIVE RIDE THROUGH THE UNDERBELLY OF BOLOGNA'S JAZZ SCENE. YOU'LL LAUGH. YOU'LL CRY. YOU'LL CRAVE PROSCIUTTO AND RED WINE.

After a sold-out run in the 2008 International Fringe Festival, Piccola Cosi, is back on April 30th at The Triad Theatre. The Triad heats up this spring as actor/ singer/playwright Aja Nisenson takes her audience on a funny and provocative ride through the underbelly of Bologna's jazz scene. Playing herself and the eight Italian men she encounters, twenty-one year old Aja comes of age as she pursues her dream of becoming a jazz singer, with the help of more than a few eager Italian men. Based on true life this smoky, sexy, comedic solo show is fiery as a shot of grappa.

Conceived as a playwriting thesis during Aja's senior year at Brown University, Piccola Cosi, which in Italian means "small like this," is a sprawling cacophony of Italian culture and a young woman's own fractured understanding of it, where pizzas walk across tables and men appear as smoke in doorways.
