The Laramie Project at Theater at St. Jean's

In the aftermath of the media frenzy following the brutal murder of a gay college student in Laramie, Wyoming, a NYC theater company asked, "What can we as theater artists do as a response?"  They travelled to Laramie numerous times recording the experiences of a cross-section of the community-long-time residents, student, police, doctors and ultimately the murderers themselves--from which they created a unique, essential and eternally relevant play, a kaleidoscopic portrait of our nation's values, prejudices, and aspirations.

"Astonishing.  Not since 'Angels in America' has a play attempted so much: An examination of the American psyche."  --Associated Press

"A theatrical event not to be missed". --New York Magazine
