The Laramie Project

No photo but here's a logo.

This now well known play about the murder of gay University of Wyoming student, Matthew Shepard is remounted by Theatre Western with tact and elegance.

*The Laramie Project* constructs the story through bits and pieces of testimony based on real interviews with Laramie's townsfolk that highlight the extent to which the murder affects their entire community, and to a lesser extent, all of America. It’s heady stuff for the student-age creative team, but they pull it off expertly with bold directorial strokes and very capable performances.

_The Laramie Project is part of this year's Toronto Fringe Festival and continues until July 11th. You can find more information including showtimes_ "here":http://www.fringetoronto.com/fringe09/indoorBYOV_listings.html#T and also "here":http://www.theatrewestern.ca/
