Andy Warhol's Tomato presented by Buffalo Theatre Ensemble at McAninch Arts Center

Daily Herald - Highly Recommended

"...But there is something special about Buffalo Theatre Ensemble's revival of the gentle two-hander about dissimilar men recognizing and encouraging artistry in each other. Much of it has to do with the nuanced performances by longtime BTE ensemble member Bryan Burke and newcomer Alexander Wisniewski, a College of DuPage student, in director Steve Scott's introspective, nicely attuned production."

"...There is something very endearing about this two-hander in large part due to director Steve Scott taking his time developing the two characters. On stage they make for a very effective odd-couple pairing with Alexander Wisniewski impressive in his professional debut as the young Andy Warhol. Besides having the artist’s mannerisms and hair, he also captures more than a little of Andy’s nervous energy and the appearance of budding creative genius. Working opposite him is Bryan Burke as the fictional Bones, a repressed saloonkeeper who pursues his art in secret out of fear of being thought “funny” by his patrons. It is a delight watching the rookie and veteran actor play off one another on stage."
