Event Description: SHOW DATES: Nov. 22 - Dec. 8, 2019 JANIS STEVENS DIRECTS STEVE MARTIN’S BRILLIANTLY FUNNY ‘PICASSO AT THE LAPIN AGILE’ AT AMERICAN RIVER COLLEGE Celebrities of the art and science worlds mix with local and national celebrities in ARC’s witty and wonderful production of the off-Broadway hit, Picasso at the Lapin Agile. This thought provoking comedy by beloved actor/comedian/screenwriter Steve Martin is being directed by Janis Stevens, “an internationally acclaimed actress and one of the leading lights of Sacramento theatre” (Tobias Wolff, Stories on Stage). What’s more, local theatre veteran, Don Hayden, is a pivotal member of the talented cast, which also features Kennedy Center ACTF* nominees Jared Cagley (as Einstein), Zach Ekstedt, and Fatemeh Mehraban. Elly award-winning designers Gail Russell and Kathy Burleson round out the show’s production team. The play opens Nov. 22 for a three-week run at ARC’s intimate Stage Two Theatre. Martin’s quirky comedy places Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso in a bohemian Paris pub (which Picasso actually frequented in real life). The fictional meeting takes place 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. The two young geniuses muse on the century’s achievements and prospects as well as other fanciful topics with infectious dizziness, as entertaining subplots filled with romance, intrigue and silliness swirl around them. The banter is philosophical, fascinating and thoroughly fun!
