DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN RETURNS TO THE GE THEATRE
NOTE DATE/TIME CHANGE: JULY 17th THROUGH JULY 19th, 2008
NOW WITH A 2PM SHOWING ON JULY 19TH
Schenectady, NY -- Defending the Caveman, the longest running solo play in Broadway history, returns to the GE Theatre at Proctors. Please note date and time change Thursday, July 17, through Saturday, July 19, 2008 at 8:00pm, with a 2pm showing on July 19, 2008.
Comedian Rob Becker wrote Defending the Caveman over a three-year period during which he made an informal study of anthropology, prehistory, psychology, sociology and mythology.
Defending the Caveman, a hilariously insightful play about the ways men and women relate, is an international hit with productions in 30 countries to include the United States, Canada, South Africa, Iceland, Sweden and Germany.
This prehistoric look at the battle of the sexes played for two years on Broadway and is full of hilarious scenarios that celebrate the differences between men and women. “[Caveman] probes the male mystique with a well-aimed spear…”
–The San Francisco Chronicle
“Hysterically Funny! Couples who were seen arguing before the show, stroll out into the night holding hands.” – Variety
With hilarious insights on contemporary feminism, masculine sensitivity and the erogenous zone, Defending the Caveman addresses the common themes in relationships that go straight to the funny bone.
Comic Paul Perroni stars in this one man show. In addition to the Caveman, his most memorable roles include Edmund Tyrone in Long Day’s Journey Into Night, Cassius in Julius Caesar, and a recurring role as Comedian/DJ Johnny Hughes in the Off-Broadways production of The Awesome 80’s Prom at the Radio Star Ballroom. Paul has also appeared in a variety of commercials and films including the independent short film “Sugar”, which was featured at the Dick Clark Productions Theater in Los Angeles, and “The Minx”, which was featured at the Hong Kong Film Festival.
The “outrageously funny and surprisingly sweet exploration of the gender gap” (Chicago Sun Times) has made defending the Caveman “a comic phenomenon.” (New York Times)
