Extended until July 6!
It’s 1976, and less than 3 years before her exile, the Empress Farah beckons Andy Warhol to begin pop-art portraits of the royals in Tehran. When a fascinating University student takes Warhol hostage to publicize his group’s demands, a life or death struggle ensues over revolution, responsibility and the arts.
“A deep dive into Warhol’s carefully curated persona, the role artists play in politics, the tangled history of the United States and Iran and a basic clash of personalities. This is theater as community building for theater lovers, a ritual celebration of the art form’s theoretical virtues — empathy, compassion and love.” -

“A masterful, creative blend of humor and reflection. Mills and Mohebbi work brilliantly together. Director Serge Seiden keeps the tension high throughout the whole play. The actors hit all the right comic and emotional moments. Andy Warhol in Iran is a profound yet humorous exploration of art, business, politics, and connection.” -

“A heartfelt story! [Director Serge Seiden] hits every beat and then some. [He] deftly highlights the comedic moments without sacrificing the gravitas of the story and its subtext. While the story may be fictional, the history is fascinating.” -MD Theatre Guide
“Excellent! Director Serge Seiden unifies the wildly disparate events going on in that hotel room—suspense, slapstick, surprise, danger, comedy, and the greatest of these is realism—so that 90 minutes fly.” -
