STAFF REPORTS
Theatre USC is one of a handful of theaters
in the nation to receive permission
to stage Steve Martin's award-winning new
?medy, "Picasso at the Lapin Agile," which
is also on tour nationally.
The show starts tonight and runs
:hrough Nov. 23 in USC's Drayton Hall.
' Curtain times are 8 p.m. Tuesday
dirough Saturday and 3 p.m. on Sunday,
rickets cost $10 for the general public, $8
For senior citizens, military and USC faculty
and staff, and $6 for students.
"This is a rare accomplishment," Artis
;ic Director Jim O'Connor said. "It took a
iot of behind-the-scenes maneuvering to
pull it off."
According to the William Morris
\gency, the closest the national touring
show will get to South Carolina is Washington,
D.C., or St. Petersburg, Fla.
"Picasso at the Lapin Agile" t invites
people to wonder what surprises the 21st
century will offer by looking back at what
the 20th century ushered in, O'Connor said.
Set oh a Paris night in 1904, the
play is about Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso,
two of the 20th century's most brilliant
men, who meet by chance in a bar
called the Lapin Agile. It's a little more
than a year or two before each will revolutionize
the way people will see the world.
But, on this night, they're not so different
from other young men in a bar?bustling
with self-confidence and youthftd lust and

inspired by the possibilities of the new century.
Along with a motley selection of other
barflies, and one surprise guest, they
flirt with the women, argue, dance, laugh,
paint and puncture the egos of intellectuals
everywhere.
Conflict is inevitable, though, as Einstein's
transcendental logic and Picasso's
mercurial graphic brilliance collide in the
ultimate intellectual arm wrestle. The
thrusts and parries of their witty duel become
a towering fusion of ideas, giving the
audience a sense they are witnessing B
how the future will be changed by these
two colossal figures.
But, the presence of another young
visitor at the bar shows that, in the 20th
century, even the genius of an Einstein
or a Picasso may be dwarfed.
"Picasso at the Lapin Agile" won the I
Outstanding Off-Broadway Play award last
year from the Outer Critics Circle. The 1
script is rife with Steve Martin's wild and |
crazy approach to comedy: clever puns, sly J
one-liners, double entendres, sight gags, |

The rest of the tracks have their moments,
but do not delight like these.
Particularly interesting are the responses
to phony ads placed in the
newspaper by Brennan and Kamal. When
the unsuspecting victim calls to reply to
what he or she thinks is a legitimate ad,
the Boys go on the attack, leaving the caller
thoroughly confused and more than a
little shaken up.
Jerky Boys 3 introduced this concept,
and on this CD, callers respond to bogus
ads for "retro movie casting" and gameshow
tryouts. The audacity of the Jerky
Boys makes for some hilarious calls.
Also included on this CD is "Jerk Baby
Jerk," the Boys' first musical endeavor.
"Jerk" is a stereotypical dance track
with clips of past calls mixed in and is a
lot of fun, if not entirely out of place.
While Jerky Boys 4 is good, it does
not produce the same side-splitting results
past albums did, particularly the debut.
But, on the whole, this release has enough
bright spots to warrant a place on your
CD rack. So listen to it, tough guy!
