"The Laramie Project" by Moisés Kaufman & members of The Tectonic Theater Project - On October 7, 1998, a young gay man was discovered bound to a fence in the hills outside Laramie, Wyoming savagely beaten and left to die in an act of brutality and hate that shocked the nation. Matthew Shepard’s death became a national symbol of intolerance, but for the people of Laramie the event became deeply personal, and it is their voices we hear in this stunningly effective theater piece that explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable.

Adult language & situations.
