Corpus Christi is a queer retelling of the biblical book of John, telling the story of Jesus as if he were a gay man growing up in Corpus Christi, Texas. Our production brings the story into a modern lens by shining a comparison on the persecution of Jesus two centuries ago with the persecution of the transgender community today.

Corpus Christi will be presented on the Evjue Stage at the Bartell Theatre, running March 20 - April 4, 2026, at at 7:30 pm Thursday-Saturday (except for 2 pm on April 4) and 2 pm Sunday.
