In the KQEN Cultural Spotlight:

Umpqua Actors Community Theatre has its production of Picasso at the Lapin Agile on- stage September 4th through the 21st. It is comedian Steve Martin’s absurd comedy of historical fiction which has Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso meeting in a bar in Paris in 1904. That was the year before Eistein’s theory of relativity and Picasso’s transition to cubism. The two celebrities of science and art spar for their fields, surrounded by a cast of supporting characters from the turn of the century and beyond.

The production will be on stage Thursday through Saturday evening at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $17 for adults. Due to minor language and content in the show, the production is recommended for audiences aged 13 and older.

Tickets are available at www.uact-theatre.org or by calling the box office at 673-2125.
