Twenty years ago, an openly gay college student named Matthew Shephard was kidnapped, beaten, and left tied to a fence on the prairie outside Laramie, Wyoming. A month later, a troupe of actors descended among the town to interview residents and probe the motives behind the murder. What resulted is the story of a town grappling with the truth of unmasked hatred. The Laramie Project became one of the most performed plays in America, and in 2005 it was Theatre Horizon’s very first production.
