The Laramie Project, Presented by Intrepidus Theatre Lab w/ Diva Productions

In October 1998, a twenty-one-year-old student at the University of Wyoming was kidnapped, severely beaten, and left tied to a fence in the middle of the prairie outside Laramie, Wyoming. His body was not discovered until the next day. The young man died several days later in an area hospital. His name was Matthew Shepard.

In the aftermath of the crime, Moisés Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project made six trips to Laramie over the course of a year and a half. After conducting more than 200 interviews with the people of the town, they then constructed a deeply moving theatrical experience from these interviews, along with their own experiences in Laramie. THE LARAMIE PROJECT is a raw, provocative theatrical production that speaks as much about the entirety of The United States of America, as it is does a small, rural, cowboy town. As one interviewee plainly stated, “We need to own this. We are like this.”

This special four night theatrical event of THE LARAMIE PROJECT will take place July 24th-27th at The Olde Brick Theatre in Scranton.

Tickets are $15 cash or card.
