Interview with Brian Cook from "Picasso at the Lapin Agile"


   If last weekend you missed Alchemy Theatre’s latest play, the very funny Picasso at the Lapin Agile, the good news is: you have two more chances to catch it! 

   We have another interview with a member of the cast to share - let’s hear from the talented and very funny Brian Cook:

Q: What’s Picasso at the Lapin Agile about – and what is a Lapin Agile?

Brian: “Picasso” is about two hours long, with an intermission. “Lapin Agile” is the bar in which the story takes place.

Q: What character do you play?

Brian: I play Sagot, the titular character’s art dealer.

Q: Rumor has it that this play is actually funny. True?

Brian: Chuck, you know better than to spread rumors.

Q: Why did you want to be part of this play?

Brian: I wanted to work with Messrs. Murdock and Sullivan again. I was also interested in performing a Steve Martin script.

Q: Tell us about the cast – funny, talented, or mostly drunkards?

Brian: Funny and talented, yes. However, the cast has remained fairly sober for the duration of the rehearsal process.

Q: Any unusual challenges with this show?

Brian: Sometimes it’s challenging to keep a straight face when my cast mates are performing. 

Q: Why would you recommend this play to our readers?

Brian: The play is absurdly humorous and contains a few surprises scattered throughout.

   Thanks, Brian!


Picasso at the Lapin Agile is being presented by Alchemy Theatre Troupe on April 12 and 13 at 8 p.m. at the Kindred Communications Building at 555 5th Avenue in Huntington. Tickets are general admission and are $15 each.
