Green Lights Arts unsheathes the double-edged sword of radical feminism.
You’re invited to a party at The Factory.
It’s for Val. She hates men. Like seriously, she is NOT a fan of them. In fact, she’s written a manifesto of her thoughts about eradicating them. That’s why Andy is throwing the party: to launch her manifesto. Only things don’t go exactly as planned.
Join green light arts , Fail Better Theatre and the rest of the ‘crazies’ in this interactive, immersive theatrical experience, which Toronto’s Daily Xtra called “exactly what theatre should be.” You might even get a selfie with Andy Warhol.
Written by Ben Hayward & Ali Richardson
Performed by Ben Hayward, Ali Richardson, Nicholas Potter and The Chorus

Valerie Solanas is best known for her SCUM Manifesto , a ferocious satire that calls for the eradication of all men in order to end sexism. While trying to get Andy to produce her play Up Your Ass , Val became part of his offbeat gang at the Factory in NYC. After a misfit friendship with the prince of pop, Valerie shot Andy four times in the summer of ’68.
Andy Warhol presents: Valerie premiered at the Toronto Fringe Festival in July 2014 to acclaimed reviews and sold-out shows .
