Photos: THE DEEP THROAT SEX SCANDAL Opening Night

Finally the true story is revealed: In 1972, a hairdresser from the Bronx made a little movie that grossed over $600 Million (possibly the most profitable film of all time) and ignited the sexual revolution. The Deep Throat Sex Scandal takes you behind the scenes, into the secret world of adult filmmaking and introduces you to the legendary Linda Lovelace and Harry Reems. Follow the bizarre journey from the creation of the movie, through the raids, arrests and the banning of the film, to the political fallout of the ensuing courtroom drama, which launched the career of Allen Dershowitz.

The cast features Lori Gardner as Linda Lovelace and Malcolm Madera as Harry Reems, with Graham Stuart Allen, Frank Blocker, Stephen Hope, John-Charles Kelly, Rita Rehn, and Zach Wegner. The Deep Throat Sex Scandal will have scenic design by Josh Iacovelli, lighting design by Graham Kindred, and costume design by Jeffrey Wallach, projection design by A2K Productions, LLC and sound design by Phillip Rudy. Ernie Fimbres is the Production Stage Manager.
