Thanks to everyone who auditioned for PICASSO AT THE LAPIN AGILE. We had forty-four people audition! Some very difficult casting decisions had to be made. I hope that those of you who were not cast in this show will audition again (date of next auditions is Mon 12 Apr and Tue 13 Apr for CAROUSEL).

Several of you indicated that you’d be interested in participating in other activities for the show including set building/design, sound/lighting, costumes, makeup, backstage, reception and ushering/box office. I hope to contact everyone about such opportunities but do not hesitate to email me or one of the crew it you are so itching to help out.

This long running Off-Broadway absurdest 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, Charles Dabernow Schmendimen and 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.

• "Consistently entertaining."-N.Y. Daily News
• "Very engaging.... Martin sends ideas onstage in baggy pants, with a cigar .... mix[ing] the sublime with the ridiculous [so] that they can't be easily disentangled.... Very good fun."-N.Y. Times
• "A major treat."-Newsday
• Winner of the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off Broadway Play
