Atascadero residents put on one hell of a backyard show
This is the fifth year the Carlins have operated a theater from their Atascadero home, one production each year, in their brick courtyard. One year preforming Picasso at the Lapin Agile. "The play is chock-full of brilliant, insightful, and irreverent one-liners, and not all from the two genius characters, either." -Ashley Schwellenbach https://www.newtimesslo.com/sanluisobispo/the-theatre-that-is-not-a-theatre/Content?oid=2938081 -

"The cast of gently goofy characters, directed with élan by Hal Brooks, also includes Suzanne , a sexy woman who has had a one-night stand with Picasso and wants to go for two; the intermittently brilliant bartender, Freddy; Gaston a patron who is new at being old (“getting used to it, really”); and Charles Schmendiman , a fictional inventor who fully expects to be just as well remembered as Picasso and Einstein."- New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/30/nyregion/30playnj.html -
Frostburg State University's Production
"The attention to detail of the set was quite incredible. The paintings on the walls were all mock-ups of Picasso’s work over the year and they were each painted by students at FSU. The lighting effects of the play helped set the stage of the play; the best lighting spectacle of the play was at the very end when the room was filled with the starry night sky."-Andy Duncan https://thefrostburgnewday.blogspot.com/2012/04/picasso-at-lapin-agile-at-fsu.html -
