The Misadventures of Rob Maitner Plays the Duplex in May

The Bistro and Fringe Award-winner will star in his self-titled The Misadventures of Rob Maitner at the Duplex Cabaret Theatre on May 6th, 13th and 20th at 7 PM.

In the show, Maitner "deconstructs himself and The Mouse and, in the process, exposes the Mouse's quiet role in what's come to be known as the "Gay Agenda". From his first taste of The Happiest Place on Earth to his obsession Mouseketeer Tommy Kirk, Maitner comically explores the idea that we can 'know' another person even if we've never met them," according to press notes. Ray Fellman ("Mostly Sondheim" Friday Nights) will provide the arrangements and musical direction and Adam Fitzgerald (kef productions) will serve as director for the piece.

Maitner received a Talkin' Broadway 2005 Summer Theatre Festival Citation as Outstanding Actor in last year's Fringe production as The Chaplain in Fleet Week and a FringeNYC eXcellence Acting Award for his work as Shannon in Poor Super Man. He is a recipient of two OOBR Awards for his work in A Clockwork Orange and the FringeNYC world premiere production of Urinetown. Other New York credits include John the Baptist in Corpus Christi, Mrs. Seizmagraff in Betty's Summer Vacation, Einstein in Picasso at the Lapin Agile, First Lady Laura Bush in Tony Kushner's Only We Who Guard The Secret Shall Be Unhappy and Mrs. Clause in 'Tis the !@#$-ing Season.

Tickets are $15 and there is a two-drink minimum. Credit cards are accepted. Reservations are strongly suggested and can be made by calling The Duplex at 212-255-5438. The Duplex is located at 61 Christopher Street at 7th Avenue.
