Voorheesville Dionysians will present "The Laramie Project"
 

The Voorheesville Dionysians will be presenting a staged reading of "The Laramie Project" on Friday, November 9 and Saturday, November 10 at 7:00 p.m. in The High School Commons.

"The Laramie Project" is a play written by Moisés Kaufman and the Members of Tectonic Theater Project.  It was written after the killing of Matthew Shepard, a young man who was brutally murdered because he was gay. 

In an effort to explore the question of how such a heinous crime could happen in any community, The Tectonic Theater Project journeyed to Laramie, Wyoming after the murder of Matthew and the trial of his killers and conducted interviews with the various people involved in the case and people in the community.  The play is a compilation of those interviews and of actual words spoken during the days surrounding Matthew’s death. 

"The Laramie Project" contains the real words that were spoken by people of the town and the theater project.   The subject matter and language is intense and not appropriate for children.  Because of this, children of middle school age or younger will not be admitted unless in the presence of an adult.

 Tickets are $5 and will be available at the door.
