‘The Laramie Project’ launches at the Jerry Herman Ring Theatre.

“The Laramie Project” is a documentary-style play that tells the story of how the community of Laramie, Wyoming, responded to the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, a young gay man who was kidnapped, beaten, and left tied to a fence. Told through the words of the residents of Laramie, including faith leaders, the play is based on interviews conducted by members of the Tectonic Theater Project, who developed the play in collaboration with Moises Kaufman. The play is part of the Lincoln Legacy Project, which aims to promote dialogue about equality, tolerance, and acceptance. Purchase tickets for this student production on the Coral Gables Campus. University students can obtain free entry on Friday, Sept. 27, by presenting a valid ’Cane ID.
