WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Blue Coyote Theater Group and Access Theater bring cartoon pornography and censorship center stage with Busted Jesus Comix, loosely based on shocking court case of the first and only artist ever convicted of obscenity.
David Johnston's play is directed by Gary Shrader.
When 19-year-old Marco created a comic book, the community leaders of Tallahassee, Florida took him to court for obscenity. They won. Now Marco is a convicted felon, and is banned by law from drawing for three years.
