Synopsis

On October 7, 1998, a young gay man was discovered savagely beaten, bound to a fence, and left to die outside Laramie, Wyoming. He died five days later. Matthew Shepard's death became a national symbol of intolerance, but for the people of the town the event was deeply personal. After Matthew’s murder, members of the Tectonic Theater Project in New York City traveled to Laramie, Wyoming, to conduct 200+ interviews with residents about how the attack on Matt had affected the town. These transcripts were transformed into the play The Laramie Project,  which is an extraordinary chronicle of life in the town after the murder. The play uses 8 actors to tell the stories of the people in Laramie who lived at the epicenter of one of the nation’s most heinous anti-gay hate crimes.

​

Cast- This is an ensemble piece created with 8 actors who portray the 60+ characters (ranging in age from 19-70+) in the piece including sharing the role of the narrator. Originally done with 4 men and 4 women. Actors should feel comfortable playing multiple characters of varying ages and genders.
