Porn Yesterday was a hit at Thorny Theatre in Palm Springs to kick off 2009.
"The Thorny Theater continues its tradition of presenting new LGBT comedies and dramas with its production of Porn Yesterday . . . (with) just the right mix of poignancy and laughter in this saucy tale of one man's struggle toward redemption." -- MyDesert.com
