This gripping play concerns Americans' reaction to the murder of Matthew Shepard in October 1998. Shepard was kidnapped, severely beaten and left to die in Laramie, Wyo. Moises Kaufman and others went to Laramie and conducted more than 200 interviews about the event, from which they wrote “The Laramie Project.” The Tectonic Theater Project helped create this piece.
This performance of “The Laramie Project” is produced by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc. Samantha Stavely will direct the performances. Set and lighting design is by Jeff Roop, and costume design is by Jane Bagnall.
