SUMMARY:The Laramie Project
CONTACT:Stephan Carpenter\, 5028526814\, email:taboxoffice@louisville.edu
DESCRIPTION:In October 1998, a twenty-one-year-old student at the Universit
 y of Wyoming was kidnapped, severely beaten, and left tied to a fence in t
 he middle of the prairie outside Laramie, Wyoming. His bloody, bruised, an
 d battered body was not discovered until the next day, and he died several
  days later in an area hospital. His name was Matthew Shepard, and he was 
 the victim of this assault because he was gay. Moisés Kaufman and fellow 
 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 t
 he trial of the two young men accused of killing Shepard. They conducted m
 ore than 200 interviews with the people of the town. Some people interview
 ed were directly connected to the case, while others were citizens of Lara
 mie, and the breadth of the reactions to the crime is fascinating. Kaufman
  and Tectonic Theater members have constructed a deeply moving theatrical 
 experience from these interviews and their own experiences in Laramie. THE
  LARAMIE PROJECT is a breathtaking collage that explores the depths to whi
 ch humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable
