The Laramie Project

 

Written by Moisés Kaufman
Directed by Alyson Cohn

An intense one-act drama described by Time Magazine as “a pioneering and powerful stage event” about the gay-bashing murder of Matthew Shepard on the outskirts of Laramie, Wyoming.

An award-winning play that was turned into both a powerful film and TV movie, this dramatic 90 minute production draws on the hundreds of interviews conducted by the Tectonic Theater Project following this highly-publicized 1998 hate crime.

Portions of the proceeds will benefit the Tyler Clementi Foundation in Ridgewood.
