News subtitle

The 2015 musical goes behind the scenes of the adult entertainment industry.

Theater students in early March undertook a production of Pretty Filthy, the 2015 musical by Bess Wohl with music and lyrics by Michael Friedman.

The musical centers on the lives of adult film stars in California’s San Fernando Valley.

It ran in Wilson 301, which has been outfitted with a thrust stage and seating for about 35, and was directed, co-choreographed, and co-produced by Katie Devin Orenstein ’22.
