And, the play is off again.
We really shouldn't be surprised at this point, but a controversial play that depicts Jesus Christ as a gay man is once again canceled.
We reported Thursday that the play, Corpus Christi, was back on and was going to be held on a Fort Worth stage.
The play had originally been scheduled to play at Stephenville's Tarleton State University, where student director John Jordan Otte attends school. The school later rescheduled and then canceled the play over safety concerns.
On Thursday, Adam Adolfo, executive director of the Rose Marine Theater, offered the theater free of charge and said he wanted to give the students "a place that is safe and supportive" to present their work.
Apparently, that place isn't the Rose Marine Theater. The board of directors have rescinded Adolfo's offer and told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that the venue and organization are not appropriate for such a play.
The theater said it had received a violent threat on its Facebook page following the announcement that they would host the students.
We expect more rescheduling and cancellations in the future. Stay tuned.
I am going to call and offer them a play about Muhammad raping children and murdering scores of people. Thing is, its not blasphemy because its all true.
Think they’ll bite?
Free speech? I have no problem with these a$$holes making themselves look even worse by putting on this play.
It would be interesting to see what would be happening if Mohammad was being depicted as a pedophile/gay person ....
Good point. Had this been a play about a gay Muhammad, I suspect the student director would be the target of liberal outrage and Muslim death threats.
Still waiting for the gay Mohamed play.
That would be acceptable as long as Muhammad was not effeminate.
Well as the leader of the brand new, heh, Anti-Islam Society, I think we should cause those kinds of controversies so as to open sheeple eyes.
But can I use your name instead? :)
I doubt that they’ll bite. LOL!
Seriously though, you all know the outrage that would result from the assertion that Mohammed was gay although it is more likely that he could be gay vs Jesus in which it would be an impossibilty pursuant to the Bible because Jesus was without sin and God made it pretty clear jack hammering another man's backside is a sin when he said...
“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.”(Leviticus 18:22)
“If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.(Leviticus 20:13)
But somehow a gay Jesus is just "artistic freedom?" Go figure!
Well I could write the proposal and send it off to CAIR and the media and sign it “Chris Davis” and see what happens.
:)
LOL!
I’m not a very brave dude sometimes. heh.
Free speech also includes: "No. Not in my theater."
That’s okay. I’ll pick up the slack on your gutlessness. LOL!
Just kidding, Geron.
Would you like to be our martyr?
Dang I doubt that application would be filled out.
More DNC Brownshirt mythmaking?

" If we want to corrupt the image of this short-lived populist movement, we should be promoting violence in the name of the movement."
Standing room only in the theater.
Baring it all … Matt Rosner, front, and Harley Connor in Corpus Christi.
“Still waiting for the gay Mohamed play”.
...bestiality and pedophilia would be more appropriate.
