Steve Martin offered to pay for a group to perform his play, “Picasso at the Lapin Agile,” because it was banned by the school board of Newport Beach, CA.  Parents ridiculously protested, and rehearsals were immediately stopped when the board received a petition signed by 137 people.  If you’ve never seen the play, about a meeting between Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso at a bar in Paris, it’s really hilarious.
