CalArts Discount to Brimmer Street Theatre’s Leiris/Picasso at the Bootleg Theater

ON SALE NOW!

USE PROMO CODE “CALARTS” FOR DISCOUNT TIX JUNE 17, 18, 19

Leiris/Picasso twists the true story of an underground meeting between Picasso and the French existentialists into a slamming-doors sex farce. Enduring hunger, the Nazis, and each other, the greatest thinkers of the 20th century risk their lives to find that the master has written a play so unwatchable that even they cannot stomach the pretension.
Written and Directed by David Jette
