Cathedral Center of St. Paul (Los Angeles, CA)
When Corpus Christi opened in New York, two thousand protesters thronged the theater. When it premiered in London, extremists issued a fatwa condemning the playwright to death. Everywhere it has played, audiences have been challenged, shocked and enlightened. And the play’s outrageous topic? The life and death of Jesus Christ. But in this passion play by Tony-winner Terrence McNally (Kiss of the Spider Woman, Ragtime), Jesus and his disciples are gay men living in ’50s-era Texas. Now, after touring worldwide for more than a decade, McNally’s profound re-imagining of the story of Christ returns to Los Angeles for a one-day-only performance at the Cathedral Center of St. Paul. Experience its radically inclusive message firsthand and discover why this remarkable work can, in the words of The New York Times, ” win over the biggest skeptic.”
