"Einstein and Picasso walk into a bar..." describes the off-Broadway comedy by the actor, comedian, and screenwriter Steve Martin. In a 1904 Parisian café, a beloved watering hole to struggling artists and local eccentrics Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso meet to muse just before the renowned scientist transformed physics and the celebrated painter set the art world afire.

In one extraordinary night, these would-be geniuses, whose egos are as big as their intellects, spar with the regulars and each other about art, science, inspiration, love, and the promise of the 20th century. Throw into this mix a mysterious visitor with a penchant for blue suede shoes, and the audience is in for a clever and crowd-pleasing evening of theatre.
