SYNOPSIS: In October 1998, a 21 year old student was kidnapped, beaten, and left tied to a fence in the middle of the prairie outside Laramie, Wyoming. He died in a local hospital several days later. His name was Matthew Shepard, and he was the victim of this assault because he was gay. Moises Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project made 6 trips to Laramie to conduct more than 200 interviews with the people of the town and then constructed this deeply moving theatrical experience. The Laramie Project is a breathtaking collage that explores the depths to which humans can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable.
