Picasso at the Lapin Agile

Einstein and Picasso walk into a bar—in this play, penned by Steve Martin, that’s not a setup for a joke. A host of eccentric characters meet in a Parisian bar at the turn of the 20th century, where ideas and sexual advances flow as freely as the wine. F, Sa, 8pm; Su 2pm. Through 9/20. $15-$17. Chautauqua Playhouse, 5325 Engle Road, La Sierra Community Center, #110, Carmichael; (916) 489-7529; www.cplayhouse.org.
