50 years of 'Deep Throat'

Photos by Stacie Joy 

The Slipper Room, the performance arts theater at 167 Orchard St., hosted a 50th-anniversary screening of "Deep Throat" — the first adult film to secure a mainstream theatrical release — on June 12. 

The premiere of the 4K digital version included a cocktail party, go-go dancers, film screenings, a Q&A session and a 1970s-themed burlesque show. (You can read about the film's complicated legacy here. Or here.)

Gerard Damiano Jr. (photo above) and Christar Damiano (middle below), the children of "Deep Throat"'s writer and director Gerard Sr., were at the premiere... as was EVG contributor Stacie Joy...
"The Deep Throat at 50" tour continues throughout 2022.
