Photo Flash: First Look at Robert Dubac in THE BOOK OF MORON and THE MALE INTELLECT: AN OXYMORON? Off-Broadway

Urban Stages will present the New York Premiere of the acclaimed comedies The Book of Moron and The Male Intellect: An Oxymoron?, written by and starring Robert Dubac. The Male Intellect, one man's quest to figure out what women want, will run in repertory with The Book Of Moron, a hilarious journey down the rabbit hole of hype and spin in search of the truth. Performances of both shows will run in rep for this limited Off-Broadway engagement that begins tonight, March 19th, and continues through April 26th. Opening Night is set for Monday, March 30th. Urban Stages is located at 259 West 30th Street (between Seventh and Eighth Avenues). Scroll down for a first look at both shows!

In The Book Of Moron Dubac crashes head first into our culture of modern idiocracy. (And idiocracy isn't even a word. How dumb is that?) Having been assaulted with so much hype and spin he has lost sight of the truth. He can't remember who he is or what he believes in. Does he have a purpose? Can he think for himself? Is the truth in the details or in the pudding? He hasn't a clue. He racks his brain searching for answers. Instead he finds voices. Inner voices who pull him into a hysterical parallel universe in search of the bigger picture. It's a head trip - on a banana peel.

In The Male Intellect: An Oxymoron? Dubac embarks on a different mission. This time he's in pursuit of the holy grail of male/female relationships; i.e. the answer to the age old question, "What do women want?" And with help of five bonehead chauvinists and his feminine side he miraculously comes up with the answer. All while drinking a beer. It's 80 minutes of riotous comedy and misguided advice on the never-ending babble of the sexes.
