Playwright and actor Jeff Bower has never been one to shy away from controversial material. While earning his Master’s of Fine Arts in Theatre from Florida Atlantic University (class of 2003), he received death threats for performing his thesis project: a production of Terence McNally’s “Corpus Christi,” which depicts Jesus as a gay man in modern-day Texas. “We were at the bottom of the CNN ticker at one point, because [the state] threatened to cut $60 million in funding from FAU,” Bower recalls.
