The Laramie Project:10 Years Later
Daisy's Madhouse presents The Laramie Project: 10 Years Later. Sponsored by ACLU of Idaho. $8 general online, $10 at door. Matthew Shepard's 1998 murder became a watershed historical moment in America that highlighted the violence and prejudice lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people face. A month after the murder, the members of Tectonic Theater Project traveled to Laramie and conducted interviews with the people of the town. From these interviews they wrote the play The Laramie Project, which they later made into a film for HBO. One of the most performed plays of the last decade, the piece has been seen by more than 50 million people around the country.
The Laramie Project 10 Years Later is the sequel to this play. The epilogue focuses on the long-term effect of the murder of Matthew Shepard on the town of Laramie. It explores how the town has changed and how the murder continues to reverberate in the community. The play also includes new interviews with Matthew's mother Judy Shepard and Mathew's murderer Aaron McKinney, who's serving dual life sentences, as well as follow-up interviews with many of the individuals from the original piece.
