Corpus Christi

Terrence McNally’s Corpus Christi is a retelling of the Jesus story set in 1950’s Corpus Christi, Texas and Jesus is gay. The play treats the subject matter with great respect and the universal message of love for humanity easily shadows the sexuality of the main character. Typically performed by thirteen young men, this production celebrates the play’s message of embracing diversity by casting both men and women of a large age range. The play is performed in a church. Nic Arnzen directs.
