Laramie Project Staged Reading
2025-10-10 19:30 - 21:30
Join Members & Friends of the Flemington community for a staged reading of The Laramie Project, detailing the all too relevant story of the death of Matthew Shepard and its impact on a community through the voices of those who were there to witness it. In October of 1998, college student Matthew Shepard was brutally tortured and murdered in the small town of Laramie, Wyoming. He was a young gay man. The incident became a national – and international – story and the Laramie community became fiercely divided in their opinions of the crime.
Just a month later, playwright Moises Kaufman and other company members of the Tectonic Theater Project traveled from New York to Laramie, and for the next year, they conducted some 200 interviews with the people there. The play The Laramie Project was created from these interviews and tells Matthew’s story as well as the story of a community in crisis and how it began to heal. This play brings to light both the humanity of those left in the wake of violence as well as the brutality of homophobic rhetoricand hatred.
This performance will feature local actors and community members:

A suggested donation of $5 will be collected at the door. No one will be turned away for lack offunds!
