DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN Comes to Bucks County Playhouse This Spring

Bucks County couples are sure to be roaring with laughter and sharing knowing glances while asking "Could comedy give couples therapy a run for its money?"

With hilarious insight on contemporary feminism, masculine sensitivity and the erogenous zone, DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN mines the common themes in relationships that go straight through the funny bone and into the heart. DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN makes us laugh at ourselves, about all the ways that men and woman fight, laugh and love.

Written by comedian Rob Becker over a three-year period during which he made an informal study of anthropology, prehistory, psychology, sociology and mythology, DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN played for two and a half years on Broadway, making it the longest running solo play in Broadway's history. It is now a worldwide hit with productions in 30 countries, and scheduled to open in more than 60 cities in North America this season.

DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN offers a hilariously insightful prehistoric look at the original battle of the sexes. Full of wonderful scenarios that celebrate the differences between men and women, Caveman is a must see for anyone who is, has ever been, or would like to be in a relationship. In addition to winning the hearts of audiences worldwide, Caveman has also garnered praise from a multitude of marriage and family therapists across the nation for its humorous exploration of the gender gap.

DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN will be performed by Philadelphia native Vince Valentine. One of eight fine actors hand selected by Rob Becker to step into the shoes of the Caveman, Vince is happy to be in his third year touring with the record breaking comedy.

DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN is produced by Theater Mogul - a global theatrical production company with shows in more than 40 countries and in 20 different languages. Its offices are in New York City and Zurich, Switzerland. DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN is not a production of Bucks County Playhouse. Bucks County Playhouse is a not-for-profit corporation. Revenue derived from the license of this theatre is used to further the operations of Bucks County Playhouse.

Bucks County Playhouse, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, is the oldest and largest professional Equity performing arts center in Bucks County, and provides the finest theatrical entertainment for visitors and residents of New Hope, Doylestown, Lambertville and the Delaware Valley. Under the direction of Tony Award-winning producers Alexander Fraser and Robyn Goodman, its mission is to present first class professional entertainment and regain the Playhouse's historic place in the national theatrical landscape; and to stimulate, support, inspire and celebrate the performing arts via community programs, partnerships and arts education.

Located between Philadelphia and New York, Bucks County Playhouse opened in 1939 in a converted 1790 gristmill after a group of community activists, led by Broadway orchestrator Don Walker and playwright Moss Hart, rallied to save the building. The Playhouse quickly became one of the country's most famous regional theaters, featuring a roster of American theatrical royalty including Helen Hayes, Kitty Carlisle, George S. Kaufman, Grace Kelly, Robert Redford, Bert Lahr, Walter Matthau, Angela Lansbury, Bernadette Peters, Alan Alda, Tyne Daly, Liza Minnelli and Audra McDonald and remained in continuous operation until December 2010. In 2012, the Playhouse re-opened thanks to the efforts of the Bridge Street Foundation, the nonprofit family foundation of Kevin and Sherri Daugherty, and Broadway producer Jed Bernstein.

Since its renovation, significant productions include Terrence McNally's "Mothers and Sons" starring Tyne Daly which moved to Broadway and was nominated for two Tony Awards; "Misery" by William Goldman based on the Stephen King novel now playing on Broadway, "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike", starring Marilu Henner and playwright Christopher Durang, and last summer's hit production of "Company" starring Justin Guarini, which the Wall Street Journal claimed "borders on the miraculous. The Playhouse is surely headed back into the spotlight."
