There is a tradition of having a show by first year theatre group students at the end of the term, before the exam, this year is not an exception, we are doing a concentrated version of The Laramie Project. The Laramie Project is a play by Moisés Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project, the story is about the reaction to the 1998 murder of University of Wyoming gay student Matthew Shepard in Laramie, Wyoming. The murder was denounced as a hate crime and brought attention to the lack of hate crimes laws in various states, including Wyoming. Unlike many other plays, the play is not created by the author, it draws on hundreds of interviews conducted by the theatre company with inhabitants of the town, company members' own journal entries, and published news reports.
Unlike other first year play performed before, we only have 10 days to prepare for this show, which is our teacher's new record! In the next one and a half week, we will spend most of our evening on stage rehearsing , I hope the show will be successful!
