The Male Intellect: An Oxymoron? makes its appearance at Act II
Playhouse for a limited engagement beginning July 6th and through
July 31st.
Tickets are on sale now by phone at 215-654-0200 or at www.act2.org
or at the theatre box office at 56 E. Butler Avenue in Ambler.
The Male Intellect has garnered envious reviews from San Francisco
to Toronto, Chicago to LA. The Boston Globe proclaims, "Robert Dubac
is talented, entertaining and very funny!" The Los Angeles Times
says, "The show elicits big laughs from both sexes in waves of treble
and bass" while The Philadelphia Inquirer states,"The Male Intellect
is adeptly conceived, refreshingly and comically stated and Dubac has
no trouble keeping it up for 90 minutes." The Denver Post and Toronto
Star both gave the show its highest four-star rating, raving "The
Male Intellect is hilarious as it is thought-provoking...a brilliant
show."
When the show opens we meet "Bobby" in a very confused state having
been dumped by the girl of his dreams. Unable to understand why, he
channels some not-so-wise but hilarious advice from his five
chauvinistic mentors. With a shrug of his shoulders or a crook of his
neck Robert Dubac seamlessly transforms himself into these five alter
egos; each offering their own brand of misguided advice. They are:
The Colonel who insists that the key to what women want is honesty,
hence all men should admit they're boneheads so they always have an out.
Jean-Michel who says communication is what women want ... and
communicating with double-talk and mindless metaphors is completely
acceptable as long as you speak with an sexy accent.
Fast Eddie who gives women what they want - passion! But he doles it
out from the fast lane professing men have to "love 'em fast and
leave 'em first".
Old Mr. Linger who believes women want a sense of humor. He
understands women can play hard to get. He also understands that if a
man plays hard to get - he doesn't get anything. Old Mr. Linger is
123 years old and believes he has discovered the secret to life.
Remaining single.
Ronnie Cabrezzi who believes all women want is some sensitivity. He
also thinks sharing your secrets makes you sensitive. However, the
kind of secrets he shares with his fiancé, Lucy, just p___ her off.
Bobby realizes their suggestions are worthless but with help from his
"feminine side" he is able to sift through the bad advice and
discover the real answer to the age-old question, "What do women
want?" And he does it all while drinking a beer. Brace yourself,
ladies, because this is how men think.
Hailed by critics and audiences alike, The Male Intellect: An
Oxymoron? is a rare thing; a clever combination of theater and stand-
up comedy that is laugh out loud funny, provocative and thoughtful,
all at once. There are two types of people who should rush and see it
- men and women. |
