About The Laramie Project
By Moisés Kaufman and
Members of the Tectonic Theatre Project
Directed by Matthew Gardiner
The Laramie Project
presents a deeply complex portrait of a community's response to the
1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, a young gay man living in Laramie,
Wyoming. In a series of poignant reflections, the residents of Laramie
react to the hate crime and surrounding media storm with anger,
bewilderment and sorrow. The play portrays the seismic and deeply
personal impact Matthew's death had on this small town while also
demonstrating the power of the human spirit to triumph over bigotry and
violence. Fifteen years later, Matthew Shepard's story still
reverberates, urging us on with its clarion call to confront the
destructive power of bullying and hate, in all forms. The Laramie Project
is the third offering in the multi-year Lincoln Legacy Project-an
effort to generate dialogue around issues of tolerance, equality and
acceptance. Experience the story that TIME magazine calls "a pioneering and powerful stage event."
