In the 10 years since the Tectonic Theatre Company told the story of  
the brutal murder of gay University of Wyoming student Matthew  
Shepard, Artistic Director Moises Kaufman and other company members  
wondered what changes affected Laramie, Wyoming since the incident  
brought hate crimes legislation to national attention. In a  
continuing effort to explore this tragedy and its effects on societal  
norms, the Tectonic Theatre Company revisits Laramie and many of the  
people portrayed in the original play. This seminal event features  
the Cleveland premiere of a live reading of this stunning piece by  
local actors – one of 150 taking place across the country – with an  
introduction via the internet by playwright Moises Kaufman and a pre- 
show discussion with local members of PFLAG, LGBT Center, and  
Equality Ohio, welcome by guest host Glenn Close, welcome remarks by  
Judy Shepard and a post-show discussion with members of Tectonic  
Theatre Company via the internet.

“(Kaufman) has a remarkable gift for giving a compelling theatrical  
flow to journalistic and historical material.” – The New York Times
