His bloody, bruised, and battered body was not discovered until the next day, and he died several days later in an area hospital. His name was Matthew Shepard, and he was the victim of this assault because he was gay. Moisés Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theater Project made six trips to Laramie over the course of a year and a half, in the aftermath of the beating and during the trial of the two young men accused of killing Shepard.THE LARAMIE PROJECT is a breathtaking collage that explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable.</span></div><div class="_63ew" data-testid="event-permalink-details" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class="_63ew" data-testid="event-permalink-details" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;" class="">Shows: July 13th-21st</span></div><div class="_63ew" data-testid="event-permalink-details" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;" class=""><i class="">Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm</i></span></div><div class="_63ew" data-testid="event-permalink-details" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;" class=""><i class="">Sunday, July 15th at 2pm</i></span></div><div class="_63ew" data-testid="event-permalink-details" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;" class=""><br class="">Directed by: Jared Sparks</span></div><div class="_63ew" data-testid="event-permalink-details" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;" class="">Assistant Director/Stage Manager: Jake Sustersic</span></div><div class="_63ew" data-testid="event-permalink-details" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;" class=""><br class=""><b class="">Cast:</b></span></div><div class="_63ew" data-testid="event-permalink-details" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;" class="">Brad Vincent</span></div><div class="_63ew" data-testid="event-permalink-details" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;" class="">Brett Voina</span></div><div class="_63ew" data-testid="event-permalink-details" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;" class="">Cassie Brode</span></div><div class="_63ew" data-testid="event-permalink-details" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;" class="">Catherine Csanyi</span></div><div class="_63ew" data-testid="event-permalink-details" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;" class="">Channon Booth</span></div><div class="_63ew" data-testid="event-permalink-details" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;" class="">Manuel Halkias</span></div><div class="_63ew" data-testid="event-permalink-details" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;" class="">Stephen Ostertag</span></div><div class="_63ew" data-testid="event-permalink-details" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;" class="">Tara Corkery</span></div><div class="_63ew" data-testid="event-permalink-details" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class="_63ew" data-testid="event-permalink-details" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit;"><div class="_63ew" data-testid="event-permalink-details" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;" class=""><b class="">Tickets: $15</b></span></div><div class="_63ew" data-testid="event-permalink-details" style="font-family: inherit;"><b class=""><span style="font-family: inherit;" class="">Can be purchased at </span><a href="https://squareup.com/store/avenue/" target="_blank" data-ft="{"tn":"-U"}" rel="nofollow" data-lynx-mode="origin" data-lynx-uri="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsquareup.com%2Fstore%2Favenue%2F&h=AT2CxrfHa9XG1FQjlB9PahIjJigVa8KdoGdGCTMtNBWIdw8SHVvxV5pSeW5Uz0UZuMBErAtiWvXy4RC2nnqhuZyerEHaouIPFrKyxB150VANQ5fdBiJp1Y8eGMkJAiRC8Za2EcXaZCNagLF49vzRKmAtekQ" style="color: rgb(54, 88, 153); cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" class="">https://squareup.com/store/avenue/</a></b></div><span style="font-family: inherit;" class=""><br class=""><br class=""></span></div><div style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></div></div></body></html>
