In October 1998, University of Wyoming college student was murdered for being gay. 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.
