Staged Reading at The Baltimore Museum of Art, 10 Art Museum Drive at North Charles and 31st streets on Friday and Saturday April 17, 18 at 8 p.m. and on Sunday, April 19 at 2 p.m.
Comedian Steve Martin imagines a jaunty duel of wits between Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso in this clever and humorous play set in the famed Lapin Agile bar in the Montmartre section of Paris at the dawn of the 20th century-when Picasso painted his Circus Family and just before their respective breakthroughs in science and art.
Tickets $15 for adults, $10 for students and seniors, $7 for ages 18 and under. All include admission to the exhibition.
The current exhibition, A Circus Family: Picasso to Léger, is on view at the BMA through May 17 and features more than 80 prints, drawings, paintings, and books by Pablo Picasso, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Fernand Léger, and other European artists fascinated by the extravagant spectacle of the circus and the bohemian lives of the performers outside the ring.
