THE MALE INTELLECT: AN OXYMORON? Comes to the Van Wezel, 1/27

By: Jan. 18, 2012

THE MALE INTELLECT: AN OXYMORON? makes its appearance at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall on Friday, Jan. 27 @ 8 PM.

‘Hilarious’ is the only way to describe THE MALE INTELLECT: AN OXYMORON? as Robert Dubac, ransacks his brain to answer the age old question, "What do women want?" This hit one-man show pinpoints the differences between the sexes and then celebrates them with ninety minutes of non-stop laughter. It is a multi-character comedy with Mr. Dubac playing all the roles.

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, and unable to understand why he channels some not-so-wise but hilarious advice from his five chauvinistic mentors. 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; 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 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 is 123 years old and believes he has discovered the secret to life. Remaining single; RONNIE CABREZZI who thinks sharing your secrets makes you sensitive.  However, the kind of secrets he shares with his fiancé, Lucy, just piss her off. Brace yourself, ladies-- this is how men think.

Ticket prices range from $10-$45. For more information and to buy tickets, contact the Van Wezel Box office at (941)953-3368 or log onto www.vanwezel.org.  Sponsored by Wilde Lexus of Sarasota and ABC 7
