On October 7, 1998, a young gay man was discovered bound to a fence outside Laramie, Wyoming, savagely beaten and left to die in an act of brutality and hate that shocked the nation. Matthew Shepard's death became a national symbol of intolerance, but for the people of the town, the event was deeply personal. In the aftermath, Moises Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project went to Laramie and conducted more than 200 interviews with its citizens. From the transcripts, the playwrights constructed an extraordinary chronicle of life in the town after the murder.
Featuring: Cory Azmon as Moises Kaufman, Jeremy Oshins as Greg Pierotti, Emily Zisko as Amanda Gronich, Ilana Berman as Leigh Fondakowski, Eli Saracino as Stephen Belber, Paulina Ke as Barbara Pitts, and Simon Kienitz Kincade as Andy Paris
