DAVE SHIRLEY is bringing back his highly acclaimed comedy, ODDVILLE to the Avenue Theater in Denver March 17 through April 9.

ODDVILLE hits the Avenue stage for ten performances. Written by DAVE SHIRLEY (Santa’s Big Red Sack) and ROBERT DUBAC (The Male intellect, The Book of Moron), ODDVILLE is a solo show like no other. Think Blue Man Group meets The 40 Year-Old Virgin and you’d be close. But not close enough. Hysterically indescribable, ODDVILLE is a unique piece of brilliant abstract modern theater jammed with ingenious props, amplified physical comedy, complex multi-media imagery and a cool nostalgic score. 

As the curtain rises on ODDVILLE our lonely hero, Dave, is caught between existing onstage or inside a giant video screen. With one foot rooted in reality and the other in an alternate digital universe he battles the oddest of obstacles on his quest for true love. Can he find happiness in a cardboard box? Will the evil cat sell him a new pair of hands? Why does his true love have a flat screen for a head? How many lemons will fit in his pants? And why can he kiss but not talk?

A love story with limited words but loads of heart, ODDVILLE is an unforgettable evening of modern theater that will leave you laughing, thinking, and wondering, “How on earth did he pull that off?”  It is truly a comedy with no borders. Even those too cool to come to the theater find ODDVILLE to be very cool, indeed.
