The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later (An Epilogue) October 12 by Moisés Kaufman, Leigh Fondakowski, Greg Pierotti, Andy Paris and Stephen Belber of the Tectonic Theater Project Directed by Richard M. Parison, Jr.
The creators of the highly acclaimed play The Laramie Project, which since 2000 has been one of the most performed plays in America, will premiere a compelling and groundbreaking epilogue. The original production of The LaramieProject chronicled the true story of the small town of Laramie, Wyoming, following the brutal beating and murder of Matthew Shepard. The epilogue focuses on the long-term effect of the murder of Matthew Shepard on the town of Laramie. It explores how the town has changed and how the murder continues to reverberate in the community.
The staged reading will be performed at Barrington Stage Company and more than 100 other theaters around the world for one day only.
