2013 Season


 

PicassoTitlePicasso At The Lapin Agile
Written by Steve Martin
Directed by Shelby Maticic

Two historical figures walk into a bar…

Penned by world renowned comedian and actor, Steve Martin, 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’ agent, the bartender and his mistress, Picasso’s date, an elderly philosopher, and an idiot inventor introduce additional flourishes of humor.

Winner of the 1996 Outer Critics Circle Award, Best Off Broadway Play.

Produced with permission from Samuel French Inc.

Drawing from various theatrical traditions, such as clowning, pantomime, charades, acrobatics and vaudeville, GODSPELL is a groundbreaking and unique reflection on the life of Jesus, with a message of kindness, tolerance and love.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream’s is one of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies.  Midsummer weaves a theatrical spell powerful enough to make people of all ages believe in anything. Lovers lost in the woods, courtly marriage festivities, rude mechanicals rehearsing a wacky play in the woods- not to mention the King and Queen of the Fairies… oh yeah, and did we mention that misplaced love potions just make it all the more hysterical? This play is Shakespeare’s hilarious love letter to all you can imagine.
