Metropolis Executive Director and Resident Playwright Team Up and Take the Stage for One Uproarious Night

Called “A new Odd Couple” by the Pioneer Press, Bikerman and the Jewish Avenger return to Metropolis in their new show We had babies… Man Style on Saturday, July 25, 2009.

Bikerman, also known as Jim Jarvis, Metropolis Executive Director, and the Jewish Avenger, aka Metropolis’ Resident Playwright Scott Woldman (Indecent Proposals, Speedating the Musical), are back together after a 4 year hiatus. Since we last saw them, a house was destroyed, 13 possum were caught, a thumb was bitten off and someone went to the ER for getting cayenne pepper in their eyes. And they both became dads. This hilarious duo is reviving their special, high-energy brand of storytelling, but this time, no escapades involving bear hunting, Harley riding and video gaming. That’s right, these new dads are all about diaper changing, lullaby singing and Peek-a-booing, and doing it Man Style. While you never know quite what to expect from this unlikely team, one thing’s for sure: it’s a side-splitting night you don’t want to miss!

Bikerman and the Jewish Avenger: We had babies… Man Style comes to Metropolis July 25, 2009 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $16.50 and can be purchased online at MetropolisArts.com or by calling the Box Office at 847.577.2121.
