CAST
(in order of appearance)
BOBBY has figured out what women want. But he forgot. He'll remember before Act I is over. It takes about 45 minutes. It's a monumental undertaking few men achieve. It all boils down to finding some balance in your brain. Getting your ying in sync with your yang. Bobby has got it down to a science. Does it every night. Looks forward to it. Because every time he finds balance he is able to hear his Voice of Reason. That's what Act II is all about. If you thought figuring out what women want was monumental - wait until you see what his Voice of Reason reveals. (Hint: It has something to do with opening the Door of Truth.)
THE COLONEL is your typical pig-headed-my-way-or-the-highway kind of guy. A guy who's got lots of focus but limited vision. Simple minded and - well, we might as well say it - a little stupid. Religious, too. Not that the two go hand in hand mind you but when you shove them both through the door of truth - you end up with a moron who just might be a genius.
BOBBI is Bobby's feminine side or as he/she prefers to be called - his "metro-sexual" side. Without him/her there is no balance. And without balance there is no truth. Problem is most men can't see the truth because they won't listen to their feminine side. They think it makes them look gay. That's just an illusion. The truth is it take balls to think feminine. You just don't get to use them.
PHILLIP POMEROY uses his academia to rationalize his chauvinism. And you don't even know he's doing it. He is that good. Smart too. He's sort of the opposite of the Colonel. Where the Colonel is dim-witted and devout, Phillip is brilliant and irreverent. But you don't even mind because when he walks through the door of truth - he is able to solve our political problems with a compromise that is so absurd it borders on brilliance. Wait, maybe he's the genius.
THE VOICE OF REASON can only be heard when someone has found Balance. Without Balance it falls on deaf ears. The first time anyone heard their Voice of Reason was during the Renaissance. It showed up as a walk-on in the Playing Field of Life and was immediately chosen to run with the Balls of Consciousness. It got off to a good start but was quickly sacked and buried for three hundred years by Fear of the Unknown masquerading as Religion. It surfaced in the mid-eighteenth century when Humanity drafted Science to block Religion. This enabled the Voice of Reason to run with the Balls of Consciousness again. Thanks to a game plan implemented by Freedom of Speech it damn near scored but it got clipped inside the 50's by the invention of Television. Sadly, the Altar of Advertising forced TV to pedal Fear of the Unknown again; this time dressed as Propaganda, Censorship and Political Correctness.
ROBERT used to be Bobby in Act I but once he gets exposed to the truth he realizes he has to be more serious. He's still funny but now he's seriously funny. In Act I he was swimming in the shallow end of the humor pool. This is Act II. He'll be treading water in the deep end.
UNCLE BOBBY is everyone's favorite uncle. He's the guy who says what he feels, doesn't swallow the B.S. and isn't afraid to tell the truth. Yep, he pisses people off all the time.
ROBERT DUBAC (Actor, Author) has garnered much success in the three ring circus of show-biz as a writer, actor and comedian. While his successful one person plays THE MALE INTELLECT: AN OXYMORON? and THE MALE INTELLECT: THE 2ND COMING! continue to tour the world he is feverishly finishing the final installment of this solo trilogy, PISS AND MOAN. In his spare time he directed another solo show titled MAN 1, BANK 0 and is currently embarking on a collaborative performance piece with some like-minded satirists titled THE BARBARIANS OF TRUTH. Mr. Dubac is a member of the Dramatists Guild but chooses to write humor. He makes his wife laugh. Just not always right away.
DISCLAIMER
Robert Dubac has an aversion to this section of the Playbill where actors tend to list all the crap they've done before tonight so that if tonight turns out to be crap they have a back-up list of crap that theoretically wasn't crap. The truth is this is show business. You're only as good as your last performance. Crap or not. (If you want more crap on Robert you can always Google him but remember that is the epitome of crap.)
WILLIAM I. FRANZBLAU (Executive Producer) produced the touring version of the Broadway hit play BEATLEMANIA. He served as Executive Producer for three tours of the MOSCOW CIRCUS as well as its production at The Gershwin Theatre on Broadway and throughout North America. In 1991 and 1992 he co-produced the successful Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles productions. In 1993 Mr. Franzblau developed and produced CBS LIVE - an off-Broadway multi-media presentation of classic CBS television programs such as "The Honeymooners" and "I Love Lucy". Mr. Franzblau recently produced the 2004 Tony award winning play SAY GOODNIGHT, GRACIE on Broadway and is currently producing the off-Broadway hit JEWTOPIA as well as Robert Dubac's THE MALE INTELLECT: AN OXYMORON? and THE MALE INTELLECT: THE 2ND COMING!
