Corpus Christi

Terrence McNally’s Corpus Christi is a retelling of the Jesus story, with Jesus as a gay man living in 1950s Corpus Christi, Texas. Originally opening in 1998 to bomb threats and protests and continuing in various cities with the same reception, this revival production has been able to share McNally’s message without a single demonstration. Typically performed by thirteen young men, this production continues to celebrate the play’s message of embracing diversity by casting both men and women of a large age range.
