History

Established in 2014.

The wildly popular comedy Defending the Caveman was written by Rob Becker over a 3-​year period during which he made an informal study of anthropology, prehistory, psychology, sociology and mythology. Caveman has become a peacemaker in the ongoing misunderstandings between men and women.

Caveman originally opened in San Francisco in 1991 and soon moved to Dallas. After a year in Dallas – now an unqualified hit – Caveman went on to sold-​out engagements in Washington DC and Chicago, before opening on Broadway in 1995. After running two and a half years, playing 702 performances at the Helen Hayes Theater, Caveman entered the record books as the longest running solo play in Broadway history. In 2007, Caveman opened on the fabulous Las Vegas Strip, and has since shattered the record for longest-​running Broadway show in Las Vegas history.

Caveman has been touring theaters across America, and around the globe ever since, and is now onstage at Theater on the Square in Indianapolis.
