Porn! Live on Stage! is the staged version of a documentary film
about the porn industry that playwright Ronnie Larsen produced and directed
in 1997. That dramatization is receiving its Florida premiere with this
production, the first anywhere in ten years. Larsen
made the documentary after being approached by real-life porn actors in Los
Angeles who were in the audiences of his play, Making Porn. The
WildFyre Society enjoyed an exclusive, nude audience night for that play in
March 2014 in this same venue. “They
asked me how I found out about their stories,” Larsen recalled, “and they
invited me to their sets. After watching three or four movies being shot, I
thought somebody should really capture what happens behind the scenes.” The
documentary was an instant success, earning screenings on the gay and lesbian
film festival circuit and eventually being distributed commercially. Shooting
Porn!
is a completely different work from Making Porn. The lead role is
played by award-winning actor, model, writer, filmmaker, and music producer
Adam Davenport. Ronnie Larsen plays Chi Chi LaRue, and Empire Stage
proprietor and Making Porn veteran David Gordon also has a role. This
play contains male nudity. For more information about it, visit Ronnie Larsen Presents. Admission is
