UMass Dartmouth Theatre Co, presents "The Laramie Project"
To run April 24-26 at 8pm, with a matinee performance on April 27 at 2pm
The UMass Dartmouth Theatre Company, in association with the UMass Dartmouth Pride Alliance, presents "The Laramie Project" by Moisés Kaufman and the members of The Tectonic Theater Project. This exclusive theatrical event will take place on the Angus Bailey, Jr. Stage at the main campus of UMass Dartmouth. Performances run April 24-26, at 8pm, with a matinee performance on April 27, at 2pm.
"The Laramie Project" began in November 1998, one month after the brutal beating death of gay college student Matthew Shepard on the outskirts of Laramie, Wyoming. Kaufman and members of his theatre group conducted interviews with over 200 Laramie residents to document how this small town responded to a vicious crime, reacted to the intense global media coverage, and reflected on the attitudes and actions that can cultivate both hatred and healing.
"The Laramie Project" features a cast of ten UMass Dartmouth undergraduate students including Katie Gregory, Sarah Hills, Matt Huberman, Rosemary Larkin, Laura McHugh, Martin Pasquill, Brendan Valencia, and Nate Valente. The production is directed by College of Visual and Performing Arts staff member and Theatre Company advisor Jarrad Nunes.
"The Laramie Project" will be performed at 8pm on April 24-26; and at 2pm on April 27, on the Angus Bailey, Jr. Stage at the UMass Dartmouth Main Auditorium, 285 Old Westport Road, North Dartmouth. Patrons are advised to park in lot 4. The venue is fully handicapped accessible--please call (508) 999-8167 for assistance.
"The Laramie Project" is intended for mature audiences; parental discretion is strongly advised.
Single tickets for "The Laramie Project" are $14 for the general public; $10 for senior citizens, students, faculty, staff, and alumni; and $4 for UMass Dartmouth students with valid ID.
