The Wayward Artist Presents CORPUS CHRISTI By Terrence McNally

Blasphemy! Sacrilege! Heresy! Terrence McNally's passion play recounts the birth, death, and resurrection of a young gay man living in Corpus Christi, Texas, scandalizing communities near and far when it first premiered in 1998. Experience the powerful story of Joshua who, different from other boys because of his homosexuality, grows up in isolation and torment. Fleeing his home, he gathers a group of disciples who are drawn to his radical message of love and tolerance. Despite his message of equality, he will suffer the same fate as Jesus who also sought to change a wayward community-its arrogance, its ignorance, and its complacency.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines "wayward" as conforming to no fixed rule or principle of conduct; capricious, unaccountable, erratic, unpredictable, uncontrollable; Disposed to go against the wishes or advice of others, or what is proper or reasonable; intractable; self-willed; perverse. Our work is edgy. We are not afraid to push the envelope of politeness, political correctness and propriety. We don't shy away from adult content, language and mature subject matter. We are about innovation and re-invention. Wherever possible, we delight in showing our audience a mirror to challenge pride, prejudices and point-of-view.
