The Lone Star College-University Park Drama Department brings Steve Martin's witty and insightful play, "Picasso at the Lapin Agile," to the stage beginning this weekend. Directed by William Grayson, the historical fiction imagines a chance encounter between the legendary artist Pablo Picasso and the brilliant physicist Albert Einstein in a Parisian bar in 1904.
"I am incredibly excited to bring this unique and insightful play to the stage. I've been a huge fan of Steve Martin and his works for years. Having the opportunity to direct a play by someone so iconic and influential in American comedy and art is truly an honor," said William Grayson, professor of drama and director of theatre.
The production features Uriel Sayago as Albert Einstein and David Crocker as Pablo Picasso. They are supported by an ensemble cast that includes Eian Garza (Freddy), Sergio Retta (Gaston) and Melissa Mascorro (Germaine), as well as Riley Randles, Robbie Rutzen, Sara Tatar and Taj Destouche in key roles.
The play premieres Friday, Feb. 21, at 7:30 p.m. on the Main Stage in the Visual and Performing Arts building. Additional showtimes and ticket information can be found at www.LoneStar.edu/UP-Events.
