Selinsgrove – The Susquehanna University Department of Theatre is proud to present The Laramie Project by Moisés Kaufman and the members of Tectonic Theater Project, directed by Mary Cote as part of its 2020-21 Main Stage Season.
Performances will be livestreamed on Thursday, February 25th through Saturday, February 27th at 7:30 p.m., with a Sunday matinee performance on February 28th at 2:30 p.m.
A 20-anniversary production of this deeply-moving portrait of those touched by the hate crime murder of Matthew Shepard in Laramie, Wyoming and the national reverberations that followed. “The Laramie Project is an important piece of theatre that tells the Matthew Shepard story in an artistic and meaningful way, a way that honors Matthew and seeks justice for him. Finding ways as theatre artists to continue this message, through Zoom, makes the piece all the more meaningful and shows how art and theatre can be activism and can create change.”– Mary Cote, the student director of The Laramie Project.
The production will be live streamed via Zoom for audiences. Zoom links can be purchased for $5 by contacting the University Box Office at 570-372-ARTS between noon and 5:00PM Monday-Friday, beginning February 8th. Zoom ticketing is free for Susquehanna students.
