Casting has been announced for the Off-Broadway production of David Bertolino’s The Deep Throat Sex Scandal at 45 Bleecker Street Theater. The show will begin previews September 17, with an opening on October 10. Jerry Douglas will direct.

The cast will feature 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 production will have scenic design by Josh Iacovelli, lighting design by Graham Kindred, and costume design by Jeffrey Wallach.
