WCT Rep presents "Picasso at the Lapin Agile" by Steve Martin

This long running Off Broadway absurdist comedy places Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso in a Parisian cafe in 1904.

This long running Off Broadway absurdist comedy places Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso in a Parisian cafe in 1904, just before the renowned scientist transformed physics with his theory of relativity and the celebrated painter set the art world afire with cubism. In his first comedy for the stage, the popular actor and screenwriter plays fast and loose with fact, fame, and fortune as these two geniuses muse on the century’s achievements and prospects, as well as other fanciful topics, with infectious dizziness. Bystanders, including Picasso’s agent, the bartender and his mistress, Picasso’s date, an elderly philosopher, and Charles Dabernow Schmendiman, an idiot inventor, introduce additional flourishes of humor. The final surprise patron to join the merriment at the Lapin Agile is a charismatic dark-haired singer time warped in from a later era.

Performances on March 22, 23, and 24th at 8:00 pm at the Robert F Parisi Auditorium in Wallingford Town Hall at 45 South Main St Wallingford CT. Tickets are available at Gallagher's Travel Shoppe and Amici Salon, also online at https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3320897
And if available at the door.
