The Laramie Project

Overview

In a week where homosexual rights are in the spotlight, The Laramie Project shines bright for Moises Kaufman and the members of local theatre group, The Tectonic Theatre Project.

If you're not familiar with the Laramie tale, then do brace yourself for a emotional, confronting and shocking theatrical journey.

Following the heart wrenching death of twenty one year old University student Matthew Shepard, The Laramie Project explores the homophobic hate crimes of Wyoming in 1988. After conducting more than 200 interviews from townspeople on the kidnapping, assault and murder, the performance explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the highest of compassion of which they can reach.

The importance of The Laramie Project is that it addresses community issues from a community forum. Although the horrific acts of humanity are easy to shadow, it's bringing issues to light that truly make them fade.

For a performance that is informing, entertaining, educating and inspiring, don't miss The Laramie Project.
