GAINESVILLE - Picasso at the Lapin Agile will be presented at Riverside Military Academy (RMA) Oct. 9, 10 and 13, each evening at 7:30.<br />
<br />
Picasso at the Lapin Agile was written by iconic comedian and actor Steve Martin. Set in a Parisian bar at the beginning of the 20th century, the play imagines a comical encounter between Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein, both of whom are in their early 20s and fully aware of their amazing potential. Each character's high level of self-confidence eventually results in Picasso and Einstein challenging each other to an artistic duel.<br />
