The Laramie Project

LIGHTHOUSE YOUTH THEATRE’S Award Winning TEEN DRAMA Presents

“A Thought-provoking, highly recommended production that packs a wallop as well as a message of tolerance and rejection of senseless hate.”-Cary Ginell

The Laramie Project is a documentary-styled play that analyzes the death of Matthew Shepard, an openly gay college student who was brutally murdered because of his sexual identity. The play was created by playwright/director Moisés Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project. The theater group traveled from New York to the town of Laramie, Wyoming – just four weeks after the death of Shepard. Once there, they interviewed dozens of townspeople, collecting a wide array of different perspectives. The dialogue and monologues which comprise The Laramie Project are taken from interviews, news reports, courtroom transcripts, and journal entries.
