WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Drugs. Sex. Rock and Roll. Fame. Where does Reality fit in?
Famous for Fifteen Years is a non-linear, time-traveling party with the acolytes of a very Andy Warhol-like artist. From appearances at the artist's 1984 memorial service to 1969 "scene and be seen" parties, Venus Envy, Holly Grail and their friends must come to terms with lives they've lived in front of the cameras. Tim Errickson directs Jamie Pachino's funny, ironic, multi-media look at art, fame, and the art of fame.

But the performances in this show, staged in the basement of a church at the Jan Hus Playhouse, are marvels of gutsiness.
The piece is made up of vignettes, many of them solo, performed in the round by an ensemble cast. Among the standouts is Christine Verleny as Venus Envy, one of Warhol's -- sorry, Harlow's -- freaky, fun crowd. Slinky, streetwise, confident, and catty, Verleny's Ve[...]
