Picasso at the Lapin Agile
Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso are in a Parisian cafe in 1904, just before the renowned scientist trans - formed physics with his theory of relativity and the celebrat - ed painter set the art world afire with cubism. The two geniuses muse on the century’s achievements and prospects as well as other fanciful topics with infectious dizziness. A final surprise patron to join the merriment at the Lapin Agile is a charismatic dark haired singer time warped in from a later era.
The Fox on the Fairway
A tribute from Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor) to the great English farces of the 1930’s and 1940’s, The Fox on the Fairway is filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors, and over-the-top romantic shenanigans. It’s a furiously-paced comedy that recalls the Marx Brothers’ classics and a charmingly madcap adventure about love, life, and man’s eternal love affair with... golf.
