15 Minutes of Fame: A Sneak Peak Into The Factory

Brooklyn, NY – The Factory, an electrifying immersive theater experience inspired by Andy Warhol’s legendary Silver Factory, will return for a special one-night event at 3 Dollar Bill in Brooklyn on February 20, 2025. Created by writer and theater artist Kate Name, the show blurs the line between audience and performer, inviting guests to step into Warhol’s world and experience the glamour, chaos, and destruction of his notorious art studio.

Following a successful workshop at 3 Dollar Bill in 2022 and recent grants from the Brooklyn Arts Council and NYSCA, The Factory is gearing up for a full production in Fall 2025. This February event offers a sneak peek at the experience, featuring live performances, original projections, and interactive elements that capture the spirit of Warhol’s infamous studio.  Directed by Coral Cohen, the show brings together a dynamic ensemble of performers to embody Warhol’s most infamous muses.

Visually, The Factory is brought to life through the innovative projections and set design of Cosette Pin, a multi-disciplinary designer. Pin, known for their collaborations with internationally acclaimed productions—including Sasha Velour’s groundbreaking drag revue NightGowns—merges technical precision with artistic vision to create immersive, narrative-driven experiences that fully engage both performers and audiences.

A highlight of the evening will be the Screen Test Station, where guests can step in front of the camera for their own Warhol-style moving portrait that initiates them into the world of fame. By the end of the night, one lucky audience member will be named Warhol’s next Superstar, forever cementing their place in the scene.

“Andy Warhol’s Factory was more than a studio—it was a living, breathing experiment in art and celebrity,” says creator Kate Name. “This show captures that high-voltage energy, giving audiences the chance to be pulled into the action, rather than just observe it.”
