The Laramie Project is a powerful drama that documents the impact of a hate crime on a community, and is based on hundreds of interviews that the Tectonic Theater Project conducted in Laramie, Wyoming in the year following the brutal 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, a gay college student. The Laramie Project- 10 Years Later is a new epilogue hot off the press that features interviews with many of the original characters 10 years after the fact. The reading will occur at Cabaret Le Chat Noir - 715 St. Charles Ave – on Monday October 12th at 7:00 PM. The reading is free and open to the public.
Moises Kaufman, playwright and director with the Tectonic Theater Project, spoke of his goals for the new play in a recent interview with the New York Times: “We wanted to see what occurs in a small town in the long run when it’s been subject to such a devastating event. What has been the long-lasting effect of this watershed moment? Is the fallout of these events positive, negative or perhaps a better question, is it measurable in those terms?”
Over a hundred readings of The Laramie Project- 10 Years Later will take place around the country simulatenous to the New Orleans reading. See where else readings are happening, including readings in NOLA at Loyola and Newman, at http://community.
