The Laramie Project Performance: Campus Main Theater (1600 Bldg)
Thurs., March 8 – Sat., March 10: 7:30-10:30pm
Tickets at Brown Paper Tickets.

The tragic story of Matthew Shepard made national headlines in 1998. This 21-year-old gay college student was beaten, tied to a fence, and left to die in Laramie, Wyoming. Two men were arrested and charged with kidnapping, aggravated robbery, and attempted first-degree murder for the hate crime. One month later, emotions still raw, director Moisés Kaufman and his team began conducting hundreds of interviews with the people of Laramie. From those interviews came The Laramie Project, a brutally honest and thought-provoking “live documentary” about an outraged nation and a stunned Wyoming town.

One of the past decade’s most performed American plays, and also adapted into a 2002 HBO movie, The Laramie Project is a heart-rending theatrical collage that explores the depths to which humanity can sink as well as the heights of compassion of which we are capable. See the timeless piece at the Shoreline Community College Theater.

Directed by Debra Pralle.

Content advisory: This production includes mild sexual themes and descriptions of graphic violence. Children under five will not be admitted.

Tickets at Brown Paper Tickets.
