This emotionally charged play has over 15 actors portraying over 60 characters based on hundreds of interviews by members of the Tectonic Theater Project documenting the events surrounding the brutal murder of Matthew Shepard. Some people interviewed were directly connected to the case, and others were citizens of Laramie, and the breadth of their reactions to the crime is fascinating. THE LARAMIE PROJECT is a breathtaking theatrical collage that explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable. This production, directed by Kimber Peaker-Lozano, opens Friday, November 7 and runs through November 22. Doors open at 7:30, show at 8 PM. Admission is FREE with donations so so gratefully accepted.
