DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN MAY 27-31
2015-05-27 19:30 - 2015-05-31 14:00 | Hawaii Theatre Center, 1130 Bethel St, Honolulu, HI, 96813-2201, United States
BROADWAY’S WILDLY POPULAR HISTORY MAKING COMEDY, Defending The Caveman, COMES TO HONOLULU TO GET COUPLES LAUGHING AND MAKE PEACE BETWEEN THE SEXES
The longest running solo play in Broadway history is at the Hawaii Theatre for only six shows: May 27 – 31
The historic Hawaii Theatre Center is pleased to present Broadway’s longest running solo play in history May 27 – 31, where 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 insights 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.
“Caveman is laugh-out-loud funny!” ~ The Sacramento Bee
“An outrageously funny and surprisingly sweet exploration of the gender gap…” ~ The Chicago Sun-Times
“Hysterically Funny! Couples who were seen arguing before the show, stroll out into the night holding hands.” ~ Variety Magazine
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.
Caveman is now in its third year in Las Vegas and tours cities all over the United States and around the world. At last count, Caveman has been performed in 45 different countries and been translated into 30 different languages!
The Hawaii Theatre will host Defending the Caveman for six shows only on May 27 – 31. Show times are Wednesday and Thursday at 7:30 p.m., Friday at 8:00 p.m., Saturday at 2:00 and 8:00 p.m. and Sunday at 2:00 p.m. Tickets start at $32 and may be purchased from the Hawaii Theatre Box Office, or by calling 808-528-0506 or online at http://www.hawaiitheatre.com.
Defending the Caveman is a hilariously insightful play about the ways men and women relate. This prehistoric look at the battle of the sexes is full of wonderful scenarios that celebrate the differences between men and women, making it a perfect entertainment option for couples, or girls’ night out. The show has also been seen and recommended by thousands of marriage and family therapists and counselors, for its humorous look at the inherent differences between the sexes.
Defending the Caveman star Vince Valentine is a Philadelphia native and made his stage debut when he was 11 years old at his cousin Anthony’s First Holy Communion with his now legendary comedy bit “Uncle Dominic at the Racetrack“. Fast forward to his 30′s, and after taking Paul J. Solari’s Stand-Up Comedy Workshop, Vince began performing at comedy clubs along the east coast.
Vince has starred as as Christopher and toured throughout the United States in “The Soapranos”, an interactive parody of the HBO TV series. Vince has also starred in “Joey and Maria’s Italian Wedding”, ‘The Godfathers’ Meshuggener Wedding.”
Vince was selected from 1,500 actors as one of five finalists for NBC10′s “Best Summer Gig Ever Traffic Contest”. He also made a guest appearance on “NBC 10! Live” as a panel guest soon after.
Vince has appeared in the independent film that he co-wrote and starred in, “Shut Up And Eat.” Vince was a finalist in Philadelphia’s 93.3 WMMR’s “Philly’s Last Comic Standing” and appeared in the Philadelphia Fringe Festival as a member of the Sketch Comedy Troupe “Skitzoids”. Vince appeared with the Brick Playhouse in their production of “Flip The Script” and in New York’s Midtown International Theatre Festival starring in “What Fools We Lovers Be.”

World Oceans Day: 3rd Annual ZUMBA WITH SUELANG FUNDRAISER for Sustainable Coastlines Hawai'i
2015-05-24 09:30 - 11:00 | Fresh Cafe, 831 Queen St, Honolulu, HI, 96813, United States
Aloha friends, that time of year is rolling back around again and I am so happy that I will be able to continue my now annual tradition of hosting a super fun World Oceans Day Hawai‘i Zumba party in order to raise awareness and $s for the inspiring non-profit org Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii.
Sustainable Coastlines Hawai'i are a team of dedicated, passionate people who inspire local communities to care for their coastlines though hands-on beach clean ups. My family and I are at the beach enjoying the surf and snorkeling nearly every week and are always devastated by the huge amounts of marine debris we come across both in and out of the water. We always do our best to get as much of it as we can but sadly, it is often an overwhelming amount that we simply don't have the time or resources to do alone. That's why we support Sustainable Coastlines. In the last 3 years they have managed to organise over 6,000 volunteers to remove over 45,000 lbs of marine debris from O'ahu's beautiful beaches. Our heroes!
As you know, I usually hold the event on World Oceans Day (8th June) however this year it'll have be a couple weeks before on Sunday 24th May to coincide with my quick visit over your way to O'ahu.
Since I am coordinating this off island, rather than doing a big raffle at half time I'm going to make it a little simpler and instead do a few great door-prizes that we'll draw at half time.
Here are the details:
What:
World Oceans Day: ZUMBA WITH SUELANG FUNDRAISER for Sustainable Coastlines Hawai'i
When:
SUNDAY 24TH MAY 2015 9:30-11:00
Where:
FRESH CAFE'S LOFT IN SPACE, Queen St, Kaka'ako.
Who:
Me, You and EVERYONE WE KNOW!! All are welcome to come join in this fun time. All ages, all fitness levels, all body shapes and sizes… NO previous Zumba experience required. Just a desire to have a good time amongst like-minded people.
Price:
$10 per person at the door to include a raffle ticket for a door-prize. A further 3 raffle tickets can be purchased for an extra $5. All proceeds will go to Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii.
I have missed you all and am really looking forward to this chance to see your smiling sweaty (haha) faces again as we all Zumba and shake our booty's for an amazing cause.
Please help me spread the word about this event by sharing it on your facebook page, inviting your facebook friends and telling everyone you know about it.
Much love and aloha from the Big Island of Hawai'i.
