In the KQEN Cultural Spotlight:

Picasso at the Lapin Agile continues through September 24th at Umpqua Actors Community Theatre on West Harvard Avenue in Roseburg.

Comedian Steve Martin’s absurd comedy of historical fiction 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 into 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.

Performances are Thursday through Saturday nights at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $17 for adults and $12 for children. They can be purchased by calling 673-2125, at www.uact-theatre.com or at the door.
