A staged reading

ADMISSION IS FREE
On September 12th, 2008, ten years after the completion of the original production of THE LARAMIE PROJECT, five members of Tectonic Theater Project returned to Laramie to try to understand the long-term effect of the murder of Matthew Shepard. What they found was a town wrestling with its legacy and its difficult place in history. In addition to revisiting the community members whose words riveted audiences around the world in the original play, this time around, the company also spoke with the two murderers, McKinney and Henderson, as well as Matthew's mother, Judy Shepard. THE LARAMIE PROJECT: TEN YEARS LATER asks the question, "How does society write its own history?"
