The Department of Theatre presents Steve Martin’s hilarious comedy that places Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso in a Parisian café, the Lapin Agile, in 1904, just before the renowned scientist transformed physics with his theory of relativity and the celebrated painter set the art world afire with cubism. The humor plays fast and loose with fact, fame, and fortune as these two geniuses along with the café’s other colorful characters muse on the century’s achievements and prospects with infectious dizziness.

The Department of Theatre Arts at Towson presents Bacchai.  Dionysus, the god of wine and theatre, has returned to his native Thebes on a mission of revenge against his cousin, King Pentheus. The land of Thebes has strayed from worshiping the god of wine and theatre becoming a conservative city-state with little to no soul. Throughout the play, Thebes becomes enraptured by the cult of Dionysus eventually including its misguided king. When Dionysus’ revenge is manifested, the consequences are bloody, horrific and ruthless.
