Meet Schmendiman

🎭 Few characters burst onto the stage with as much confidence—and questionable self-awareness…Convinced of his own brilliance, Schmendiman eagerly inserts himself into conversations with some of history’s greatest minds, offering opinions that are often as entertaining as they are misguided. Schmendiman’s enthusiasm and determination make him oddly endearing—and impossible to ignore.Steve Martin’s PICASSO AT THE LAPIN AGILE returns to the stage TONIGHT!Get your tickets before they’re gone! 🎨🍷💫

Two performers sit at a bar-room table in the dark, looking up at a lit painting on the green wall: a canvas of angular figures with mask-like faces. Smaller framed pictures and a wood dado surround it.

Everything you can imagine is real

A performer in a grey suit over a green paisley waistcoat stands mid-step in a bar-room set, holding a black hat out at arm’s length. A framed landscape painting, a brick wall and empty tables and chairs are behind.

Meet Gaston

Meet Gaston — a regular at the Lapin Agile with plenty to say and absolutely no shortage of opinions. 🍷😂Gaston brings humor, heart, and a wonderfully ordinary perspective to a bar filled with extraordinary personalities. Surrounded by artists, inventors, and dreamers, he somehow manages to keep up… most of the time. Charming, curious, and delightfully relatable, Gaston is one of the many unforgettable characters you’ll meet in Steve Martin’s clever comedy about art, science, and the people caught in between. 🎭✨Make sure to get your tickets to this afternoon’s matinee performance of PICASSO AT THE LAPIN AGILE!

Behind it, a performer in a rust plaid jacket stands on a bar-room table with both arms flung up, another performer watching from behind the bar. Two pop-art cut-outs are pasted over the lower left: a figure in a striped shirt and a figure with wild white hair in red sunglasses.
