In the ten years since the Tectonic Theatre Company told the story of the brutal murder of gay University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard, Artistic Director Moises Kaufman and other company members wondered what changes affected Laramie, Wyoming since the incident brought hate crimes legislation to national attention.   In a continuing effort to explore this tragedy and its effects on societal norms, the Tectonic Theatre Company revisits Laramie and many of the people portrayed in the original play.  This seminal event features the Cleveland premiere of a live reading of this stunning piece by local actors – one of 20 taking place across the country – with an introduction via the internet by playwright Moises Kaufman and a pre show discussion with local members of PFLAG, LGBT Center, and Equality Ohio.

“(Kaufman) has a remarkable gift for giving a compelling theatrical flow to journalistic and historical material.” – The New York Times
