Warhol/Frankenstein 4D! at The Hobgoblin Playhouse on Gardner

The sexy bloody quirky underground theatre hit Warhol/Frankenstein 4D! as concocted by award-winning writer/producer Steven Vlasak, and starring some of comedy and clowning’s brightest stars, is alive in the bleeding heart of Hollywood at the Hobgoblin Playhouse starting September 26, 2026, for a monthly Midnight residency.

The hilarious and heartbreaking in-your-face experience reimagines Andy Warhol’s wild Factory filmmaking years during the creation of his 3D cinema assault (1973), Flesh for Frankenstein.

Tackling multiple roles, the play features Andrew Goetten as Andy Warhol, Jordan Mullins as Edie Sedgwick and The Bride, Danny McCarthy as Lou Reed and Baron Frankenstein, Emma Jansen as Valerie Solanas and Bridgid Berlin, and JJ Phillips as Warhol’s coconspirator Paul Morrissey. Steeped in 60’s songs from the Velvet Underground, David Bowie and Bob Dylan, the stage is awash with projections of Warhol’s psychedelic art films, and period newsreels, as the charismatic cast recreate Warhol’s doomed “Superstars.” The theater’s first row is designated a Splatter Zone, with rain ponchos offered on loan, as the campy spectacle’s gratuitous nudity and mayhem soon enough devolves into carnage and bloodshed. Did we mention it’s a comedy?
