1st Show of our 2019/2020 Season!
ANDY WARHOL’S TOMATO
A World Premiere by Vince Melocchi
Directed by Dana Jackson
OVATION RECOMMENDED!
Extended through November 24th
When a teenage Andy Warhol finds himself in the basement of a working class bar in Pittsburgh, PA, he discovers inspiration, guidance and friendship from a surprising source.
“CRITIC’S CHOICE!” — LA Times
“Vince Melocchi’s quietly touching two-hander…offers more than a biographical sketch thanks to the reciprocal fleeting connection between Chariton’s Warhol and Stevenson’s equally complex performance as Bones. A surprising olive branch in the culture wars”
LA Times
“Not-to-be-missed. This is a play which exquisitely traces the steps…to an understanding about creativity and life in general”
Splash Mags
“A well-written script and two very capable actors…talented playwright Vince Melocchi fleshes out this bare bones fiction with infinite delicacy and gentle grace. A profound and timeless message for all. Kudos for director Dana Jackson’s tender handling of dynamics which, in lesser hands, might falter” –

Top Ten/Recommended
“A well-acted and entertaining addition to Warhol lore. Dana Jackson’s sure-handed direction draws terrific work from her cast. Enjoyable look at a lesser-known period of Warhol’s life” – Stage Raw
“The skill of Melocchi’s writing is matched by the remarkable acting work of Stevenson and Chariton. Together they breathe life into every line…creating flesh-and-blood characters that hold you in thrall from start to finish” – Total Theater
“With a well-written script and two very capable actors breathing life into quirky Andy and stolid Bonsey, ANDY WARHOL’S TOMATO has taken a cute and certainly untrue story from Andy Warhol’s early life and turned into a play with a profound and timeless message for all… 100% Sweet”
