The Laramie Project - Show Summary
The Laramie Project is a play written by Moises Kaufman and the Members of the Tectonic Theater Project. The play takes place after the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, a gay University of Wyoming student. The murder has been condemned as a hate crime and the play captures the reactions of the townspeople as they are interviewed by Kaufman and his company members. Utilizing actual dialogue from interviews as well as journal entries and news stories, The Laramie Project shows that despite the tragedy and hatred behind Matthew Shepard's brutal assault, there is an underlying feeling that we can still choose mercy and compassion, just as Dennis Shepard did when making his statement to the Court regarding Aaron McKinney's sentencing.
The Laramie Project is rated PG-13 as the show deals with very serious subject matter in an honest and forthright manner. It contains descriptions of violence, discussion of sexuality and some minor adult language. Viewer discretion is advised and should not be viewed without the consent of a parent or guardian.
