Synopsis:

The Laramie Project is a documentary-styled play that analyzes the death of Matthew Shepard, an openly gay college student who was brutally murdered because of his sexual identity. The play was created by playwright/director Moisés Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project. The theatre group traveled from New York to Laramie, Wyoming - just four weeks after the death of Shepard.  Once there, they interviewed dozens of townspeople and this, coupled with news reports, courtroom transcripts and journal entries makes for a powerful piece of theatre. Our opening weekend also marks 20 years since the brutal attack on Matthew Shepard.
