After successfully collaborating on last year's "Cabaret" Stage Left Theatre
Company and Medina County Arts Foundation are teaming up once again to
present Steve Martin's madcap and thought-provoking "Picasso at the Lapin
Agile". Yes...that Steve Martin!

At the legendary bar, the Lapin Agile, in 1904 Paris, a chance encounter
between the young Einstein and Picasso sets sparks, stars and jokes flying.
The dashing painter is on the verge of revolutionizing the art world through
Cubism, while the fuzzy-haired scientist is soon to publish his
groundbreaking Theory of Relativity. They debate, amidst the zany banter
from the colorful characters in the bar, over attraction, creativity, and
the future. 

Joining them for an evening of  lunacy is: the local bar fixture with an
overactive bladder Gaston, the off-the-wall inventor Schmendimen, the dim
witted bartender Freddy, his girlfriend the all-knowing barmaid Germaine,
smitten Suzanne, the pompous art dealer Sagot, a Countess and a mysterious
time traveling visitor from Memphis...wow that's a mouthful.

Sounds too deep right? Well it's not, it's Steve Martin, best known for his
stand-up and wild and crazy characters. It's just funny, there's something
for everyone. It's got the sort of humor that you would expect from Steve
Martin plus a lot of sharp, insightful wit. You definitely don't have to
hold a graduate degree to appreciate his jokes.

Adult Content Warning! Martin's commentary on sexual encounters,
relationship between the sexes and the occasional bawdy joke may not be
appropriate for all ages. I'd call it a PG-13 show.


Tickets are $12 and can be purchased at the door
