Porn Rock: The Obscenity Trial of Jello Biafra at Eastwood PAC

YOU ARE THE JURY in this comedic drama, which brings to life the landmark 1987 Los Angeles obscenity trial of Jello Biafra, the provocative lead singer of the punk band Dead Kennedys, and offers incisive exploration of the tension between free speech and artistic responsibility. 

Set against the backdrop of the Reagan-era "culture wars," p*rn Rock takes audiences inside the courtroom where Biafra—a central figure in the punk rock scene known for his biting social commentary—was thrust into the national spotlight when he was charged with “distributing harmful matter to minors” due to the inclusion of a sexually explicit H.R. Giger painting in the Dead Kennedys’ Frankenchrist album. 

Audiences decide the trial outcome each night.
