Soulstice Theatre Presents...THE LARAMIE PROJECT by Moises Kaufman

Details:
The Laramie Project by Moises Kaufman October 2 - 11 $15.00 General Admission $12.00 Students & Seniors In October, 1998, a 21 year old student at the University of Wyoming was kidnapped, severely beaten, and left to die, tied to a fence in the middle of the prairie outside Laramie, Wyoming. His name was Matthew Shepard, and he was the victim of this assault because he was gay. Moises Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project made six trips to Laramie over the course of a year and a half in the aftermath of the beating and during the trial of the two young men accused of killing Shepard. They conducted more than 200 interviews with the people of the town and constructed them into a deeply moving theatrical experience. The Laramie Project is a breathtaking theatrical collage that explores the depths to which humanity can sink and heights of compassion of which we are capable.
