Event
The Laramie Project
In October 1998, Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old gay student at the University of Wyoming, was kidnapped, severely beaten and left to die, tied to a fence on the outskirts of Laramie, Wyoming. In the aftermath of the beating and during the trial of the two young men accused of killing Shepard, Moisés Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theater Project conducted more than 200 interviews with townspeople, some directly connected to the case, and others observers. The breadth of their reactions to the crime is fascinating. From these interviews and their own personal journals and major network news reports, the playwrights have constructed a breathtaking theatrical collage that explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable.
