New Repertory Theatre, in residence at the Arsenal Center for the Arts, has announced a change to their spring Mainstage Show. New Rep will end the 25th season with Steven Martin’s contemporary comedy, Picasso at the Lapin Agile.
New Repertory Theatre’s decision to implement this change is two-fold: The artistic transformation New Rep is undergoing in 2009 hinders executing its original plans to produce Three Sisters; and New Rep ardently believes it should close its 25th Season with a modern, stirring, and stimulating production that focuses on the possibilities the future brings. “I am thrilled that New Rep decided to revise its 2008-2009 Season.” says Rick Lombardo, Producing Artistic Director. “While Steve Martin might not always be considered one of the greatest writers of his generation, which is the theme for our season, he is one of the greatest icons of his generation and is highly regarded for his acting, comedy, and intellectual appreciation of the arts. Additionally, Picasso at the Lapin Agile celebrates the greatest artists and thinkers of their generation. With the challenging political and economic environment we are facing, it is timely for us to focus on progressive thinkers and innovators.”For more information please visit www.newrep.org.
