Hate can happen anywhere.
In October 1998, 21-year-old Matthew Shepard, an openly gay college student, was brutally beaten and left to die on the plains outside Laramie, Wyoming. A play based on more than 200 interviews with the people of the town, The Laramie Project is a breathtaking collage that explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable.

For other prices such as Two-on-the-Town, Partial View, Service Dogs, & Groups of 8 or more, call the Box Office.
