Tickets On Sale Now for Steve Martin’s "Picasso at the Lapin Agile" at Brevard College; Some Performances Sold Out

The Brevard College Department of Theatre Studies will start the semester off with actor/comedian Steve Martin’s clever and funny play Picasso at the Lapin Agile. The show is set in a real-life Parisian bar, Le Lapin Agile, a popular gathering place for artists, musicians and writers. On the night when the action takes place, in October 1904, a group of unforgettable characters, including Picasso, Einstein and a visitor from the future, gather to drink and discuss the 20th century.

The play is about “being just on the verge of great discoveries in art and science,” according to director Kelly Carolyn Gordon. “The early 20th century was an exciting and hopeful period in history,” said Gordon, who is coordinator of Brevard College’s Theatre Studies. “Today, we are also living in a time of significant change. The play makes one wonder what innovations we will see and what will inspire them.”

Performances will be held February 19-21 and 26-27 at The Morrison Playhouse in The Porter Center for Performing Arts on the Brevard College campus. The performances on February 20-21 are already sold out. Single play tickets are $10 for adults and $2 for students. Curtain time is at 8 p.m. Tickets may be purchased from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Porter Center Box Office.
