Moises Kaufman’s Tectonic Theatre project came to Laramie, Wyoming to interview members of the community as Matthew lay dying. The result was “The Laramie Project,” an award-winning, star-studded film that challenges your ideas about life and tolerance in America, and presents a new sense of what it means to be part of a community.
