This is a reminder that The Sixth Act will host “Sixth Act Night at PICASSO AT THE LAPIN AGILE,” the second in a new series of collaborations between The Sixth Act and VaPA at MCC.
On Friday, April 12, at 7:30 PM, The Sixth Act would like to gather as many audience members as possible to watch VaPA’s production of Steve Martin’s laugh-out-loud play Picasso at the Lapin Agile in the Theatre, followed by a post-show discussion with the play’s director, Professor Heather Fox, and students involved in all aspects of the production process. The Sixth Act also has constructed a short teaching packet for anyone interested in some contextualizing information.
According to The New York Times, Steve Martin’s play “offers something intelligent to laugh about.” The play imagines an encounter between Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein in which the two argue about art, science, and the future….
Tickets are $8 for the MCC community and $10 for the general public and may be purchased through http://www.monroecctickets.com. To receive the teaching packet, please contact Professor Maria Brandt at <mailto:mbrandt@monroecc.edu>. Please contact Professor Heather Fox at <mailto:hfox@monroecc.edu> for more information about the play itself.
