“A pioneering work of theatrical reportage and a powerful stage event.” —Time.

In 1998, Matthew Shepard, a student at the University of Wyoming was found tied to a barbed wire fence in the town of Laramie, Wyoming. His murder — a hate crime, where he was targeted for being gay — brought international attention to hate crime legislation, inspired legislation across the United States at the state and federal level.

This LGBTQ+ History Month, the Pembroke Players & the Cambridge Union Society present *The Laramie Project* by Moisés Kaufman and the members of Tectonic Theater Project. In this seminal work of verbatim theatre, Kaufman and the Tectonic Theater Project draw on hundreds of interviews with Laramie residents, news reports, and journal entries, collated over a year and a half, exploring the impact of Matthew's death in Laramie.

The Laramie Project explores the depths to which humanity can sink — and remains as important as ever to this day.
