You will laugh non-stop for ninety minutes as gifted actor/writer, Robert Dubac, ransacks his brain to answer the age old question, "What do women want?"

With a shrug of his shoulders or a hooding of his eyes or a crook of his neck, Robert Dubac seamlessly transforms himself into five alter egos - each offering their own brand of misguided advice while straddling the gender gap.

Hailed by critics and audiences alike, "THE MALE INTELLECT: an oxymoron?" is a rare thing; a clever combination of theater and stand-up comedy that is laugh out loud funny, provocative and thoughtful, all at once. There are two types of people who should rush and see it - men and women.

The Civic Center of Greater Des Moines is a private not-for-profit corporation celebrating 27 years of presenting the performing arts to Iowa and the surrounding states.  It is the presenter of major Broadway and educational touring companies, performers and groups, and is the performing home of many local and regional groups, including the Des Moines Symphony and StageWest.  All performances of the Broadway Series are supported by Betts Auto Campus.
