The 45 Bleecker Theatre, current home to Deep Throat Sex Scandal and Perfect Harmony has shut down due to a landlord-tenant dispute. Performances of both shows were cancelled last night and are postponed indefinitely.
The theater has posted only the following on their website:
"Theatre is temporarily closed. Like many New Yorkers, we are in dispute with our Landlord. Due to litigation we have no comment at this time. Further information will be posted as it becomes available."
Deep Throat began performances on October 10 and had been scheduled to run through December 19. Perfect Harmony was scheduled to open this Sunday October 17.
The Deep Throat Sex Scandal last performed Tuesday October 12th. Cast and crew members arrived for the Wednesday evening performance to find themselves locked out of the theater. At this point, the company cannot gain access to the set, costumes, props, or audio-visual equipment (as well as actors' personal property), so a move to another theater is impossible at this time.
The Deep Throat Sex Scandal featured 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 had scenic design by Josh Iacovelli, lighting design by Graham Kindred, costume design by Jeffrey Wallach, projection design by A2K Productions, and sound design by Phillip Rudy.
