The Laramie Project at SUNY Fredonia


from Paul W. Mockovak SUNY Fredonia and the Tectonic Theater Project. 


The SUNY Fredonia Department of Theatre and Dance will present The Laramie Project and its epilogue between Feb. 25 and March 5. 


About the play: In October 1998 Matthew Shepard—a gay university student— was kidnapped, severely beaten and left to die, tied to a fence on the outskirts of Laramie, Wyoming. Five weeks later, Moisés Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theater Project went to Laramie, and over the course of the next year, conducted more than 200 interviews with people of the town. From these interviews they wrote the play The Laramie Project, a chronicle of the life of the town of Laramie in the year after the murder. The Laramie Project is one of the most performed plays in America today.


The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later will also be presented. It is an epilogue and a bold new work, which asks the question, "How does society write its own history?" 


Contains Strong Language.
