Award-winning actor/writer Dan Ruth, returns to 42nd Street with this dark, comic work of monologues and stories, fermented in over two decades of booze, bars and gentrification. Based on 24 years as a New York City actor-turned-bartender in Hell's Kitchen, Brooklyn and beyond, A Life Behind Bars sheds comedic light on the darker side of the world of the bar, club and restaurant industry.

Dan made his Off-Broadway debut with A Life Behind Bars at The United Solo Festival last October. The show garnered Ruth "Best Seller" status and the 2016 United Solo Festival Award for "Best Autobiographical Show." A Life Behind Bars was first developed with David Drake's Solo Show Shop at The Abrons Center in 2014. Working with long-time collaborator and multiple award-winner Tanya Moberly, Mr. Ruth performed A Life Behind Bars to a single sold-out audience on December 19th, 2015 at Dixon Place in their main stage theatre and later went on to mount sold-out performances at both The Gutter Bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and at Theatre Lab in Richmond, Virginia in April and May of last year.
