The Laramie Project

Laramie Project

February 27–March  2, 2026

Summary

The Laramie Project is a breathtaking theatrical collage that explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable. Drawing from over 200 interviews, journal entries, and news reports, this moving production brings to life the voices of Laramie, Wyoming, following the tragic hate crime that took the life of Matthew Shepard. This is a gripping reflection on prejudice, love, and the fight for a more compassionate world.
