Theatrikos Theatre Co. — March Mid-month ~ Picasso at the Lapin Agile

Theatrikos is pleased to present Picasso at the Lapin Agile. This historical fiction comedy, written by actor and comedian Steve Martin, is set in Paris in the early twentieth century. The play centers around Picasso and Einstein who meet in a bar in 1904 and discuss art, science and the future of the world. Throughout the play they meet a host of other characters including a man from the future, “the visitor.”

Assistant director Adam Wintz shared, “Picasso at the Lapin Agile has a bit of everything. A marriage of dry wit and over-the-top absurdity as only Steve Martin can write. Titillation and innuendo, laugh-out-loud funny yet also thought provoking. It’s sometimes sublime, sometimes silly, but always funny. This cast hits all the right notes and really makes it sing. You will cry with laughter while pondering the nature of the universe and your place in human history.”

Performances run March 14-30, 2025.

Theatrikos has cast The Play That Goes Wrong. A play within a play, it follows the Cornley Drama Society’s disastrous production of a 1920s murder mystery, The Murder at Haversham Manor. As the performance unfolds, everything that can go wrong does—doors stick, props fail and lines are forgotten—creating a hilarious comedy of errors that’s sure to keep audiences laughing.

The cast includes Mike Kennedy, Molly and Jacob Parafiniuk, Aaron Luckey, Nick Rabe, Al Armitage, Stephen Root, Staci Dickens and Macquenzie Powell. Some of the creative team include Jan Rominger, director: Dean Benforado, assistant director: Motion Olson, stage manager and Karen Dritsas and Newton McDaniel are the assistant stage managers.

Performances run May 8 – June 1.
