Stream this play by Mois茅s Kaufman and the members of Tectonic Theater Project听starting at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30, through 11 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6.
In October 1998, two men brutally murdered 21 year-old Matthew Shepard because he was gay. Kidnapped, severely beaten and left tied to a fence in the middle of a Laramie prairie, he died several days later in the hospital. Over the course of the next year and a half, the Tectonic Theater Project conducted more than 200 interviews with the people of Laramie, and from their research created a breathtaking and reverent work that explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable.
