	The Laramie Project - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Laramie Project is a play by Moisés Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project about the reaction to the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard in Laramie, Wyoming, widely considered to be a hate crime motivated by homophobia (see the Shepard article for more on the incident).
		The Laramie Project, also written and directed by Kaufman, starring Christina Ricci, Steve Buscemi, Camryn Manheim, Bill Irwin, Summer Phoenix, Joshua Jackson, Clea Duvall and Janeane Garofalo.
		The Laramie Project was performed in Hamilton, New Zealand in June 2006 by Theatre Studies Students of Waikato University and Directed by Gaye Poole.

	The Laramie Project
		This 21-year-old gay college student, Matthew Shepard, was abducted on 5 October 1998 by two Laramie residents, taken from the bar where they met to a remote area, apparently thinking he had bummed a ride home, tied to a fence, beaten to within an inch of his life, and left for dead.
		But The Laramie Project documents and, with the help of some unknown and several known actors, dramatizes the feelings of the town residents in the aftermath, as they looked into themselves in disbelief that such a normal town could produce people of such brutality.
		Yes, I thought The Laramie Project was an effective drama, based on an example of how nasty and brutish human beings can be in making another human's life so short.

	theatre notes: The Laramie Project
		In the case of The Laramie Project, which centres on a vicious homophobic murder, this could be an especially difficult problem.
		Kaufman decided to frame the company's exploration of what happened in Laramie in its own terms: the mechanisms of creating the project are exposed as part of the action, and the actors relate the circumstances of interviews before enacting them.
		Laramie, like most human communities, is imperfect and contradictory; but I think what comes over most strongly is a vindication of George Orwell's faith in the basic decency of ordinary people.

	Review \| The Laramie Project
		When Matthew Shepard was tortured and murdered in Laramie, Wyoming, in October 1998, what began as a small-town episode of extreme gay bashing suddenly became a lightning rod.
		The Laramie Project was the opening night feature presentation at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival, and it was broadcast on HBO soon after.
		The point is made again and again that Laramie is a place where the common mantra is "live and let live," despite this singular evidence to the contrary.

		Two Laramie residents, Russell Henderson, (aged 20), and Aaron McKinney, (aged 21), were apprehended for the crime, which became front-page news around the country. Henderson and McKinney were both convicted of felony murder and sentenced to two consecutive life sentences.
		The Tectonic Theatre Project is a nonprofit theater dedicated to exploring the language and form of theatre. It is particularly interested in examining how theatre is created and developing different ways that theatre performances can speak to the public on important issues and ideas.
		A variety of actors portray the townspeople of Laramie and their dialogue of the film is drawn from the interviews that Kaufman and the Tectonic Theatre Project conducted.

	The Tartan Online : The Laramie Project
		Written by MoisÃ©s Kaufman and the Tectonic Theater Project, The Laramie Project is a series of interviews with Laramie, Wyo., residents about their reactions to the hate crime that led to the death of Matthew Shepard.
		The Tectonic Theater Projectâ€™s aim was to interview the inhabitants of Laramie in hopes of learning about the effects of Matthew Shepardâ€™s death.
		In Scotch â€™nâ€™ Sodaâ€™s performance of The Laramie Project, the costume changes were minimal, such as the change of sophomore Kwasi Mensahâ€™s plaid shirt to transform a townie into a Baptist minister.

	The Laramie Project
		Interviews with various characters from Laramie, about their actions and reactions to the murder of Matthew Shephard, sit alongside the writers' insights into these moments of witness-bearing.
		As a human being, how could you not be touched and astounded by the description from a young female cop, who was first on the scene of the crime, of a body so covered in blood that the only clear space was on Matthew's cheeks where he had been crying.
		Even when one young reporter/writer says that he learns from the barmaid and chief town gossip (and mother of the young female cop), you don't really belief that his liberal world is jolted for a moment.

	Laramie Project Press Release
		THE LARAMIE PROJECT is set in and around Laramie, Wyoming, in the aftermath of the murder of 21-year-old Matthew Shepard.
		The film adaptation of THE LARAMIE PROJECT dramatizes the troupe's visit, using the actual words from the transcripts to create a portrait of a town forced to confront itself in the aftermath of this tragic event.
		The film was shot in Laramie and Denver, Colorado, last spring, using many of the actual locations from the real-life events, including the county courthouse where the now-convicted killers stood trial.

		Even though The Laramie Project has been edited down from almost three hours (the original length of the play) to a lean 96 minutes, the harrowing nature of the subject matter--the brutal murder of Matthew Shepard--and the clarity of the voices of the inhabitants of Laramie, Wyoming, give this film a remarkable emotional power.
		The Laramie Project was created from over 200 interviews conducted with Laramie residents before, during, and after the trials of the two boys who killed Shepard; the interviews create an amazing cross-section of American views on homosexuality, religion, class, privacy, and so much more besides.
		"The Laramie Project" is an adaptation of the play of the same name, written by Moises Kaufman and based on the interviews he and his group had in 1998 with many of Laramie's inhabitants, after the callous beating up of Matthew Shepard in that relatively small town of Wyoming.

		Faithfully transcribed from some 200 hours of interviews, plus police records, court testimony and the occasional impressions of the actor/interviewers, it is really a judicious job of cut-and-paste for dramatic effect.
		But, as The Laramie Project unfolds, there is a gradual awareness that this horrible act could have taken place in a whole lot of places where there are wide-open spaces and narrow, closed minds.
		It also focused attention, thanks to a media feeding frenzy, on Laramie, pictured as a redneck hotbed of hate, much to the dismay of the good people of that sleepy college town.
