The Laramie Project
Join JCC Community Theatre as we honor Pride Month and raise our voices against hatred of any kind. The Laramie Project is Moises Kaufman’s play dedicated to the people of Laramie, Wyoming and to the memory of Matthew Shepard. On November 14, 1998, a month after the University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard was murdered, award-winning playwright Kaufman and members of The Tectonic Theater Project traveled to Laramie and began a series of face-to-face interviews with the people of the town where the story unfolded. The writer/actors created this electrifying play.
“A pioneering work of theatrical reportage and a powerful stage event.” —Time.
“Astonishing. Not since Angels in America has a play attempted so much: nothing less than an examination of the American psyche at the end of the millennium.” —Associated Press.
“There emerges a mosaic as moving and important as any you will see on the walls of the churches of the world…nothing short of stunning…you will be held in rapt attention.” —New York Magazine.
Running time is 2 hours, 15 minutes, including intermission.
Actors include our very own Steve Rogers, Bonnie Mattalian, Rachel Kaufman and actors from our community, including Blaize Baracassa, Mathias Dill, James Gelsey, Susan Koscielny, Ian Lainof, Blythe Lainof, Lauren Mayesh, Estie Reidler, Becky Skoff, and Jerin Yoo.
