An Oxymoron Or Just Moron?

"What do women want?" is the key question that Robert Dubac, author and star of "The Male Intellect: An Oxymoron?" explores in the hilarious play set on the shores of Lake Loretta.

Through his hour-and-a-half routine, Dubac touches nerves and funny bones, but never really gets to the crux of what women want. But does any man really know?

"The Male Intellect: An Oxymoron?" plays the Palace Theatre through Feb. 16. Show times are 7:30 p.m. for Feb. 13-15, and 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. for Feb. 16. For ticket information, click to www.playhousesquare.com. The Palace Theatre is located at 1501 Euclid Ave. in downtown Cleveland.

Homes and Gardens

The twelfth installment of the National City Cleveland Home & Garden Show is as big as ever, claiming much of the spacious I-X Center for its staging. This year's theme is "Fiesta Mexicana," with an 18,000-square-foot garden, the Boulevard of Homes and 20 celebrity gardens.

Tickets cost $11.50 and the show runs through Feb. 17. Click to www.expoinc.com for more information on the show's hours of operation. The I-X Center is located at 6200 Riverside Dr. in Brook Park.

From Russia, With Love

Russia's Red Army has been in the United States since 1992 — well, its army chorus and dance ensemble anyway. And the Red Star Red Army Chorus and Dance Ensemble makes an appearance in Akron at E.J. Thomas Hall on Feb. 19 at 8 p.m.

The performance displays folk and traditional, as well as classical Russian dance and music. Tickets are $20-$32. Call the E.J. Thomas Hall box office at (330) 972-7570 for more information.
