Description: |
A documentary feature inspired by Terrence McNally’s play Corpus Christi.
In 1998, "Corpus Christi" a modern day passion play by Tony award winning playwright Terrence McNally, was set to open in New York City but was met with mob-like protests, bomb and death threats. Overshadowed by metal detectors and heightened security, the play fell somewhat into obscurity. Six years ago, LA-based 108 Productions' revival of the play catapulted into an Internationally Acclaimed tour, even amongst their own continued protests, death threats and face-to-face meetings with the Religious Right. McNally's script ignited national dialogue and shone the light on religious homophobia, bullying, marriage equality and HIV/AIDS…issues the gay community and our straight allies are still struggling to gain ground on in 2012. This fundraising screening will benefit the I AM Love Campaign and Tour of the film and play.
Screenings will include a light reception with special guests Terrence McNally, filmmakers Nic Arnzen and James Brandon, cast members and many more in attendance.
The I AM Love Campaign's mission is to change the story on religious bullying and homophobia, in all ages and walks of Life, by first learning to Love the Self. Our 2012 I AM Love Sneak Preview Tour has begun! Through a screening of the film, combined with performances of the play in select cities, our company will also conduct educational and arts-based workshops alongside gay/religious/community leaders in less tolerant communities around the country. |
