It was funny and touching at the same time — she was able to incorporate all of that into her work. Normally one-woman shows are not my thing but this one was touching and emotional.

Rocky from the Bronx Productions presents Corn Bread and Feta Cheese: Growing Up Fat and Albanian, a one woman show, written and performed by Elza Zagreda. Who exactly are Albanians and what does their culture look like to the outsider? Join Elza Zagreda as she unravels the mysteries of the oldest people living in the Balkans... so old, they speak a language with no known root! Follow her story — that of a fiery, outspoken eldest daughter of four girls who grows up in a strict Albanian household where women’s contributions are not only frowned upon, but practically non-existent.
