The Laramie Project
Everyone carries a piece of the truth.
"The Laramie Project" is set in and around Laramie, Wyoming, in the aftermath of the murder of 21-year-old Matthew Shepard. To create the stage version of "The Laramie Project," the eight-member New York-based Tectonic Theatre Project traveled to Laramie, Wyoming, recording hours of interviews with the town's citizens over a two-year period. The film adaptation dramatizes the troupe's visit, using the actual words from the transcripts to create a portrait of a town forced to confront itself.

If you're at all familiar with the television movie made about the brutal slaughter of Matthew Shepard from 2002, you'll already know why New York's Tectonic Theatre Company descended upon the town of Laramie.
