On October 6, 1998, Matthew Shepard was beaten and left to die tied to a fence on the outskirts of Laramie, Wyoming. A month after the murder, the members of Tectonic Theater Project traveled to Laramie and conducted interviews with the people of the town. From these interviews, they wrote the play The Laramie Project, which they later made into a film for HBO. Ten years later, members of the Tectonic Theater Project returned to Laramie to find out what had happened there in the years since the murder. The epilogue focuses on the long-term effects of the murder of Matthew Shepard on the town of Laramie. Naropa University’s Performing Arts Department is presenting a staged reading of The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later at the invitation of the Tectonic Theater Project, as part of a one-hundred city, simultaneous premiere across the country and the world.
Free and open to the public.
