Vince Melocchi, writer of Andy Warhol’s Tomato, will be in attendance at the performance Sunday, Feb. 19. Stay around after the show for a discussion with the man behind the Jeff Recommended play!

It’s 1946 in Pittsburgh. 18-year-old Andy Warhol finds himself in the basement of a working-class bar. Over the course of a summer, Andy gives and gets inspiration, guidance and friendship from a surprising source in this fictional take on an apocryphal story of an American legend.
