What do women want? Comedian Robert Dubac pinpoints the difference between the sexes and then celebrates them with 90 minutes of non-stop laughter in THE MALE INTELLECT: AN OXYMORON?, coming to Bristol Riverside Theatre January 9th - January 12th.

Performances run Thursday, January 9 at 7:30 PM, Friday, January 10 at 8:00 PM, Saturday, January 11 at 2:00 PM and 8:00 PM, and Sunday, January 12 at 3:00 PM. Tickets starting at $35 ($15 for students) are available by visiting brtstage.org or calling the BRT box office at 215-785-0100. Bristol Riverside Theatre is located at 120 Radcliffe Street in Bristol, PA.

Robert Dubac has crafted a hysterical one man multi-character show that tackles the battle of the sexes with precision and wit. With a shrug of his shoulders or a crook of his neck, Dubac seamlessly transforms himself into five alter egos - each offering their own brand of misguided advice on how to straddle the gender gap.

The show opens with 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:

· 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 the answer, and communicating with double-talk and mindless metaphors is completely acceptable as long as you speak with a sexy accent

· Fast Eddie who gives women want 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, but also understands that if a man plays hard to get, he doesn't get anything. 123-year old Mr. Linger thinks 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 piss 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, cause this is how men think.

Bristol Riverside Theatre's main stage season continues with Tuesdays with Morrie by Jeffrey Hatcher and Mitch Albom (January 28-February 16), Laughter on the 23rd Floor by Neil Simon (March 18-April 13), and Little Shop of Horrors by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman (May 6-June 8).
