WATCH: Trailer for New Documentary On Controversial Gay Jesus Play ‘Corpus Christi’

August 15, 2014 by Kyler Geoffroy

Jesus

"Corpus Christi," Terrence McNally's 1998 play about a gay Jesus Christ, holds a special place in gay theater history not only for its subject matter but for the protests and religious right outrage that the play sparked (and continues to spark) across the country.

A documentary by the same debuted at film festivals a few years back and is now getting a wider home release so that audiences everywhere can get an inside look at how the public controversy affected those who were involved in the play's production. 

Check out the newly released first trailer, AFTER THE JUMP…
