The Book of Moron at Urban Stages Theatre

Writer, actor and stand-up comic Robert Dubac takes on a Herculean feat with The Moron Plays. His show at New York's Urban Stages Theatre consists of one actor in two separate comedies playing 12 different characters. First up, there's The Book of Moron, a head trip that finds Dubac questing for truth in a modern world filled with hype and spin. His struggle to find answers only results in more confounding questions, not to mention a chorus of hilarious inner voices that drive him even farther off the path. Next, in The Male Intellect: An Oxymoron?, Dubac's on a different kind of quest. This time he's pursuing the holy grail of relationships. That's right, he's attempting to answer the age-old question: "What do women want?" And by the play's end, he miraculously comes up with the answer, all while drinking a beer. Dubac channels both Mark Twain and Lily Tomlin with The Moron Plays, serving up witty storytelling, on-point observations and uncanny quick-change character swaps.
