Broadway’s history-making comedy about the sexes

Defending the Caveman returns to the Fine Arts Center's SaGāJi Theatre for a final engagement of three performances August 8 and 9, this time starring Caveman Ben Tedder.

The longest running solo play in Broadway history, Defending the Caveman played on Broadway for two years – over 700 performances – before becoming a worldwide phenomenon playing in over 30 countries in over 20 different languages.

Caveman is a hilariously insightful play about the ways men and women relate that has both sexes roaring with laughter and recognition. A lot of affectionate nudging occurs between audience members during the performance and couples are commonly seen strolling out into the night holding hands. As a result, Caveman has been seen, recommended and embraced by thousands of marriage and family therapists and counselors across the country.

“Judging from the audience response, men and women alike will readily enjoy and even agree upon the topics encountered. From channel surfing to dinner parties, both sides of this proverbial gender coin are humorously investigated and analyzed.” – Playback.com

Comedian Rob Becker wrote Defending the Caveman over a three-year period during which he made a study of anthropology, prehistory, psychology, sociology and mythology. With hilarious insights on contemporary feminism, masculine sensitivity and the erogenous zone, Defending the Caveman mines the common themes in relationships that go straight to the funny bone.

"An outrageously funny and surprisingly sweet exploration of the gender gap … "
– Chicago Sun Times

"Hysterically funny! Couples, who were seen arguing before the show,
stroll out into the night holding hands." – Variety

"The sensation of the year!" – Chicago Tribune
