Senior School Drama Production, "The Laramie Project"
Friday, February 10 & Saturday, February 11 at 7:30 p.m.
Albert College Memorial Chapel - 160 Dundas Street West, Belleville
The Laramie Project is a play by Moisés Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project. It is based on the true story of the 1998 murder of University of Wyoming gay student Matthew Shepard in Laramie, Wyoming. The murder was denounced as a hate crime motivated by homophobia and brought attention to the lack of hate crimes laws in various states, including Wyoming.
The play draws on hundreds of interviews conducted by the theatre company with inhabitants of the town, company members' own journal entries and published news reports. It is divided into three acts, and eight actors portray more than sixty characters in a series of short scenes. |
