picasso at the lapin agile

Run dates:  August 20-23 & 27-30, 2026

Directed by Jennifer Kingry

This comedy places Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso in a Parisian café 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, Charles Dabernow Schmendiman, and an idiot inventor introduce additional flourishes of humor.  The final surprise patron to join the merriment at the Lapine Agile is a charismatic dark haired singer time warped in from a later era.
