THE LARAMIE PROJECT: TEN YEARS LATER is a play meant to be experienced, not just seen. And you will be fully immersed from the moment you walk inside this intimate theater-in-the-round staging.

Not seen in L.A. for over 16 years, THE NORMAL HEART remains one of the theater's most powerful evenings ever.

After all, a good shoulder to cry on or arms to hug you go a long way when heartbreak takes over your life.
