In anticipation of the upcoming Andy Warhol exhibition this summer at the College of DuPage, the Buffalo Theatre Ensemble presents the play “Andy Warhol’s Tomato.”
Bryan Burke stars as Mario “Bones” Bonino and Alexander Wisnieski stars as Andy Warhol in “Andy Warhol’s Tomato,” presented by Buffalo Theatre Ensemble Feb. 2-March 5 at the McAninch Arts Center at the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn.
The play is set in Pittsburgh in the summer of 1946, when an 18-year-old Andy Warhol spends time with the owner of a working-class bar. The two strike up an unlikely friendship.Scott is a longtime Buffalo Theatre collaborator even though he wasn’t familiar with this play. “Also, I have kind of an obsession with Andy Warhol as a cultural figure. So the subject matter interested me a great deal from the get-go.”“He’s in trouble there. He refuses to follow the rules, all that sort of stuff,” he said. “During his summer break, he helps his brother deliver vegetables around the small towns outside of Pittsburgh.
“And the play is very, very funny, as well as being sweet and emotional. It’s nice to see two very different people come together in a very meaningful way and a very true way.”
