The Lafayette High School Performing Arts Academy Theatre Arts Department proudly presents Steve Martin's whimsical comedy, Picasso at the Lapin Agile, at the N.P. Moss Annex Auditorium on February 19th, 20th and 21st.

At the cusp of the 20th century, there's something in the air on the night that Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstien wander into the Lapin Agile tavern in Paris. The situation is hypothetical. The characters have timeless debares on the science of art and the art of science. It's a night when anything that can happen does. Don't miss this "historic" meeting of the minds.

All performances are at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $5 in advance and $10 at the door. The N.P. Moss Annex is located at 801 Mudd Avenue.

Due to occasional instances of suggestive dialogue, this play may not be suitable for all ages.

The LHSPAA Theatre Arts Department is a college-preparatory program dedicated to preparting students for university and/or professional stages.
