Page 8 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, April 4, 2025 A Step Back in Picasso’s Time Theatre Company of Saugus fundraiser captures the spirit of famous painter – the subject of upcoming play By Joanie Allbee T uesday evening was Picasso Painting Night at the American Legion Hall. It was a unique fundraiser where supporters of the Theatre Company of Saugus (TCS) came out to enjoy a fun evening of painting in Picasso’s cubist style. Cubist style painting is done with fragmented faces, multiple perspectives and geometric shapes. Spanish painter Pablo Picasso, who died at age 91 in 1973, is thought of as one of the inventors of cubism style painting. In many books, Pablo is quoted as saying “The World Today doesn’t make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?” And that about sums up the style of a Picasso painting. Caroline DeBrota was the art teacher who held the painting class Tuesday (April 1) night at American Legion Post 210 on Taylor Street. Caroline is from Medford and is an art instructor at Hatch Makerspace in Watertown. She is also an actress and has been performing for 18plus years. She will be playing Charles Dabernow Schmendiman in TCS’s upcoming play, “Picasso at the Lapin Agile” by Steve Martin. Sara Dion, who will be acting the part of Sagot the Art Critic/Art Dealer in the play, put on a table performance during the entire evening. Page and Wendy Millar-Page won the Fundraiser basket raffle. As Picasso said “ Every Child is an Artist,” he would probably agree that every TCS supporter who showed up at Picasso night is an artist.
