"We saw the show Friday, and I thought it was very funny, surreal and off the wall. Jason and Chris nailed their roles as usual. Garland stole the show as he always does. Bravo to cast and crew." – Beth Hood
"... We thoroughly enjoyed it. We thought everyone did a great job with their characters. I tell the folks I work with all the time to go catch your plays, and I will make sure I emphasize it when I see them all tomorrow. Great job! I can't wait for the next show!" – Richard Rosengren
"My wife and I thought the performance by all of the actors under the direction of Kari was thoroughly fun and entertaining.... Keep up the good work and ignore some of the misdirected comments by critics that should be writing on the sports pages or at the very least working at the zoo cleaning out the monkey cages." – Sam and Grace Puterman
"Just wanted to drop you a line and say how much my husband and I enjoy our season tickets.... We attended [Picasso at the Lapin Agile] and found it both thought provoking and funny." – John and Lori Pate
"Sandy and I purchased tickets for the Sunday afternoon show and we loved it. Best theater experience I've had in a couple years." – Brendan McLaughlin
"My husband & I took a group of eight friends last weekend and we all thoroughly enjoyed the performance. The cast was terrific, and the whole show was a lot of fun. We feel very fortunate to have such talent – cast, as well as behind-the-scenes people – right here at home." – Mariella Smith

Reviews
"...As Goetz and her cast demonstrate, this isn't a mere curio. The play is inventive, amusing and passably thought-provoking. It certainly wouldn't be produced so often if it had been penned by an unknown playwright, but it would deserve to be... Highlights of the Jobsite production are a large and mostly excellent cast, led by Jason Vaughan Evans and Chris Holcom as Einstein and Picasso, a wonderful set by Brian Smallheer and a lot of attractive and evocative costumes...." – St. Petersburg Times
"In the fine, entertaining production now being offered by Jobsite Theater, author Steve Martin's charming comedy is skillfully presented, and the (fanciful) meeting of Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein is rendered like a beguiling joke told over brandy by a kindly raconteur.... There's a French proverb: ‘Little by little, the bird makes its nest.‘ Well, little by little, Jobsite Theater has been turning into the most consistent, most dependable company in the Bay area. Picasso may not be a particularly important play, but the Jobsite production is a winner. I can hardly wait to see what this formidable troupe will do next." – Creative Loafing
