Oct. 21, 2019 - The Performing Arts Department proudly presents, "The Laramie Project," by Moisés Kaufman.
In October 1998, Matthew Shepard, age 21, was brutally beaten and left to die on the plains outside Laramie, Wyoming. Because he was gay. Over the next year, Moisés Kaufman and a team of writers and actors from Tectonic took six trips to Laramie, where they interviewed citizens of the town – some unconnected with the tragedy, and some intimately involved.
Using Moment Work, the company created “The Laramie Project,” a stunning theatrical examination of the immediate reactions of Matt Shepard’s community to the murder and to the underlying bigotry and hatred that enabled it.
Tickets are available for purchase online and performances will be held in Malibu Hall 140 on November 14, 15, 16, 21, 22 and 23 at 8 p.m. and on November 16 and 23 at 2 p.m.
