Description: Moises Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theater Project made six trips to Laramie over the course of a year and a half in the aftermath of the beating [and death of Matthew Shepard] and conducted more than 200 interviews with people of the town. From these interviews as well as their own experiences, ... the Tectonic Theater members have constructed a deeply moving theatrical experience.
