2. Picasso at the Lapin Agile

Imagine if Picasso and Einstein met. That is the premise for comedian-turned-playwright Steve Martin’s Picasso at the Lapin Agile (a Samuel French production). Set in a Parisian bar at the beginning of the 20th century (1904 to be precise), the play imagines a comical encounter between Pablo Picasso (Daniel Morgan) and Albert Einstein (Will Miranne), both of whom are in their early twenties and fully aware of their amazing potential. In addition to the two historical figures, the play is also populated with an amusingly incontinent barfly, a gullible yet lovable bartender, a wise waitress, along with a few surprises that trounce in and out of the Lapin Agile.

Directed by Lipscomb University’s Jonah M. Jackson, this hilarious cast also includes Andrew Johnson, Phil Brady, Emily Eytchison, Gracie Smith, Randal Cooper, Christopher Jennings, Jacqueline Smoak and Bowd Beal.
