The Bistro and Fringe Award-winner will star in his self-titled The Misadventures of Rob Maitner at the Duplex Cabaret Theatre on May 6th, 13th and 20th at 7 PM.
In the show, Maitner "deconstructs himself and The Mouse and, in the process, exposes the Mouse's quiet role in what's come
to be known as the "Gay Agenda". From his first taste of The Happiest
Place on Earth to his obsession Mouseketeer Tommy Kirk, Maitner
comically explores the idea that we can 'know' another person even if
we've never met them," according to press notes.
Ray Fellman ("Mostly Sondheim" Friday Nights) will
provide the arrangements and musical direction and Adam Fitzgerald (kef
productions) will serve as director for the piece.
Maitner received a Talkin'
Broadway 2005 Summer Theatre Festival Citation as Outstanding Actor in
last year's Fringe production as The Chaplain in
Fleet Week and a
FringeNYC eXcellence Acting Award for his work as Shannon in
Poor Super
Man. He is a recipient of two OOBR Awards for his work in
A
Clockwork Orange and the FringeNYC world premiere production of
Urinetown. Other New York credits include John the Baptist in
Corpus
Christi, Mrs. Seizmagraff in
