Emmy Award winner Robert Wuhl takes you on a hilarious trip through the myths, lies, and sordid truths that were too funny for the textbooks! Best known as Arli$, Mr. Wuhl brings to the stage his HBO special hailed by Variety as a "smart and uproariously comic romp."

Assume the Position with Mr. Wuhl is presented by Ars Nova (Jason Eagan, Artistic Director; Jon Steingart and Jenny Wiener Steingart, Executive Producers) in collaboration with producers Orin Wolf and Jonathan Reinis, starring Robert Wuhl, directed by David Schweizer and Christopher Ashley, and written by Wuhl with Rebecca Reynolds.

Robert Wuhl (Writer/Performer) was the creator and star of HBO's Arli$, one of the longest-running original series in HBO history. In its seven seasons the show achieved a rare feat, growing in numbers each year it was on air. The show, a satire of pro sports, blurred the line between comedy and dramatic social commentary, presenting such issues as Domestic Abuse, Homosexuality, Ageism, Racism, Alcoholism, and Steroid abuse in sports. Wuhl has also been critically praised for this work in films such as Bull Durham, Batman, Good Morning Vietnam, Mistress, Blaze, and Cobb. In 1996, he directed, wrote, and starred in the independent feature, Open Season, a biting satire of the TV ratings system. In addition, Wuhl won Emmy Awards in 1991 and 1992 for writing the Academy Awards telecasts hosted by Billy Crystal. He also received CableAce Best Actor nominations in both drama (Tales from the Crypt), and comedy (Arli$).

Assume the Position with Mr. Wuhl begins its six-show limited engagement tomorrow and runs July 29-31 and August 5-7.

All shows are at 8pm, and tickets are $20.
