Defending the Caveman
Comes to Broadway Center’s Theatre on the Square
Starring Isaac Lamb
Sponsored by Vision Tacoma
Tacoma, WA – Defending the Caveman, the longest running solo play in Broadway history, is now a worldwide, rock-solid tour-de-force. This blockbuster has won the hearts of millions in more than 15 different languages. Tickets for Defending the Caveman at Broadway Center’s Theatre on the Square are on sale now with 12 shows to choose from! Actor Isaac Lamb will star as the Caveman.
Defending the Caveman, a hilariously insightful play about the ways men and women relate, is an international hit with productions in 30 countries to include United States, Canada, South Africa, Iceland, Sweden and Germany.
Comedian Rob Becker wrote Defending the Caveman over a three-year period during which he made an informal study of anthropology, prehistory, psychology, sociology, and mythology.
This prehistoric look at the battle of the sexes played for two years on Broadway and is full of hilarious scenarios that celebrate the differences between men and women.
Actor Isaac Lamb was born and raised in Portland. Highlights of his early theatrical career include the amateur premiere of Willy Russell’s musical Blood Brothers, productions of Pirates of Penzance, Once on this Island, The Boys Next Door, and a continuing involvement teaching and directing teenage theatre students with the Young People’s Theatre Project. Lamb studied film, theatre, and music at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, and graduated with a Bachelor of the Arts in Film Production from Loyola Marymount’s School of Film and Television. As a member of the Sinatra Opera Workshop, a group sponsored by the Frank Sinatra estate to further education in operatic training, Isaac has appeared in productions of Mozart’s operas Le Nozze di Figaro and Cosi Fan Tutte.
“An outrageously funny and surprisingly west 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
“A comic phenomenon!” –The New York Times
With hilarious insights on contemporary feminism, masculine sensitivity and the erogenous zone, Defending the Caveman addresses the common themes in relationships that go straight to the funny bone.
