[NEohioPAL] BTOTS Presents a Staged Reading of The Laramie Project

[Donald Albainy]

Brecksville Theater On The Square continues its 38th season with a unique staged reading of the powerful drama The Laramie Project.
 
Written by Moises Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project, this is the story of Matthew Shepard, a twenty-one year old student at the University of Wyoming who, in 1998, was kidnapped, severely beaten and left to die, tied to a fence outside Laramie, Wyoming...because he was gay. The authors of this play spent a year and a half monitoring the trial of his killers, and interviewing more than 200 people from the area. The result: a heart-wrenching drama that creates a theatrical collage which explores the depths to which humanity can sink, as well as the heights of compassion that can be reached.
 
Directed by Robert Gibb, the production will run Friday and Saturday, August 24th-25th at 7:30. Performances will be held at the historic Old Town Hall theater on Public Square in Brecksville, at the corner of state routes 21 and 82, and there is no charge for admission. The theater is handicapped-accessible.
