The Laramie ProjectApril 28, at 6 pm, we will meet at The Laboratory Theater of Florida for a group read of The Laramie Project by Moisés Kaufman, followed by a discussion on the work, why it is important, and why many feel the need to remove it from the shelves in many places.
THE STORY:
The Laramie Project is the story of the community's reaction to the 1998 murder of a gay University of Wyoming student, Matthew Shepard. The play is set in Laramie, Wyoming, and uses the actual words of the town's residents, pulled from interview transcripts, to create a complex portrait of a community confrontation with itself.
"The Laramie Project is one of those shows where the script alone almost assures a strong production, but this is one of the finest you could see. Every element comes together in perfect harmony to make the horrifying and emotional tale stay with you long after the play ends. " - Theatre in Chicago
Table reads mean that space is limited, and characters will be decided on a first-come, first-served basis. Scripts will be available during the event, and a worksheet will be provided to help break down not just this play but also useful for dissecting future plays. This event is now open to everyone, with high school students getting first preference for reading parts.
