DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN
August 3-8
Written by comedian Rob Becker, Defending the Caveman is the longest running one-person show in Broadway history and has played in forty-five countries and has been translated into thirty different languages. Defending the Caveman reveals why men are so misunderstood, and why, beneath the grunting, inexpressive exteriors, there beats a heart of gold. It is a hilarious insightful play about the ways men and women fight, laugh and love. Both sexes will laugh at each other and squirm in their seats as the stories and events ring all too close to home.
