Picasso at the Lapin Agile, until Sat. April 11, 8 p.m.
Produced by Steve Martin and set in the early 1900s, the play is a meditation on the nature of
talent and all its trappings–with a time-bending cameo by the King of
Rock and Roll and a host of other zany comings and goings. Prepare for
laughs but leave your King Tut dance at home.
