[NEohioPAL] The Laramie Project at Tri-C East Campus

[Manphred Perry]

MOST PERFORMED PLAY IN AMERICA COMES TO TRI-C

"The Laramie Project" chronicles the horrific murder of a gay college
student 

 

CLEVELAND - Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C R) Metropolitan and Eastern
Campus Theatre Departments will present
<http://www.tectonictheaterproject.org/The_Laramie_Project.html#4> "The
Laramie Project," a compelling play about life in a small town after the
horrific murder of a gay University of Wyoming student. In October, 1998,
21-year-old Matthew Shepard was kidnapped, severely beaten and left to die,
tied to a fence in the middle of a prairie outside of Laramie, Wyo. "The
Laramie Project" is one of the most performed plays in America today. 

 

The show, directed by Tri-C's Dean of Creative Arts, Brian Bethune, Ph.D.,
will run on the following dates:

The play was written by Moises Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theatre
Project, who made six trips to Laramie over the course of a year and
conducted more than 200 interviews with people of the town. From those
interviews, they constructed a deeply moving theatrical experience that
explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion
of which humans are capable of showing.
