Theatrikos Theatre Company presents Robert Dubac's THE MALE INTELLECT: AN OXYMORON? at the Doris Harper-White Community Playhouse, Sept 7-9, 2012. 

‘Hilarious’ is the only way to describe THE MALE INTELLECT: AN OXYMORON?, as 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.

Tickets, priced at $20, are on sale now by phone at (928) 774-1662, online at www.theatrikos.com, or at the theatre box office at 11 W. Cherry Avenue (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 1pm – 6 pm and 2 hours prior to each performance). Friday and Saturday shows are at 8 p.m., and the Sunday show is at 2 p.m.

When the show opens, we meet "Bobby" in a very confused state having been dumped by the girl of his dreams. Unable to understand why, he channels some not-so-wise but hilarious advice from his five chauvinistic mentors. With a shrug of his shoulders or a crook of his neck 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 so they always have an out.

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 believes women want a sense of humor. He understands women can play hard to get. He also understands that if a man plays hard to get – he doesn’t get anything. Old Mr. Linger is 123 years old and believes he has discovered the secret to life -- remaining single.

RONNIE CABREZZI, who believes all women want is some sensitivity. He also thinks that sharing your secrets makes you sensitive. However, the kind of secrets he shares with his fiancé, Lucy, just put her off.

Bobby realizes their suggestions are worthless, but with help from his "feminine side" he is able to sift through the bad advice and discover the real answer to the age-old question, "What do women want?" And he does it all while drinking a beer. Brace yourself, ladies, ‘cause this is how men think.

THE MALE INTELLECT: AN OXYMORON? is a rare thing; a clever combination of theater and stand-up comedy that is laugh-out-loud funny, provocative and thoughtful, all at once. There are two types of people who should rush to see it - men and women.

Robert Dubac’s THE MALE INTELLECT: AN OXYMORON? is presented in Flagstaff by Theatrikos Theatre Company as part of an effort to bring a wider variety of theatrical experiences to Flagstaff, consistent with the high quality the company is known for.

NOTE: This production is in Flagstaff, but Robert Dubac will be returning to Canyon Moon Theatre in Sedona, Arizona, in October with his newest show FREE RANGE THINKING. For more information, visit www.CanyonMoonTheatre.org.
