Imagine traveling back in time to an ordinary Paris bistro in 1904. There, an upstart young scientist named Albert Einstein tangles in a war of words with an as-yet unknown Spanish painter named Pablo Picasso.
Drama students at Laredo Community College will recreate the bizarre twist of fate during the presentation of “Picasso at the Lapin Agile” on July 28, 29 and 30 at 8 p.m. in the Guadalupe and Lilia Martinez Fine Arts Center theater.
Written by comic legend Steve Martin, the live theater production presents an unusual scenario: what would happen if science were to take on art, courtesy of the two geniuses trading words with infectious dizziness?
And in one final surprise, everyone is caught off guard by a young dark-haired singer from the future, who is oddly protective of his shoes.
Will Einstein and Picasso be able to reconcile their differing views on world-changing ideas?
Theater lovers will need to attend the student-led show, which is a special scholarship fund-raiser being done in memory of Floyd Reed, a well-liked drama instructor at LCC.
For more information about the play, contact the LCC Reading/Speech/Drama Department by calling 721-5358.
