Play depicts gay Jesus
In 1997, playwright Terrence McNally stirred up a storm of controversy with “Corpus Christi,” a modern-day retelling of the story of Jesus’ birth, ministry and death because both he and his disciples are portrayed as homosexual.
Rarely Done Productions has mounted a local staging of McNally’s play, running at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, March 18-19 and 25-26, at the Orange Line Theater at Jazz Central, 441 E. Washington St., downtown. Tickets cost $20; 546-3224.
By the way, McNally – who is gay – was raised in Corpus Christi, Texas.
