El Camino College Theatre & Dance Presents: THE LARAMIE PROJECT: Friday, February 27, 2015 - Saturday, February 28, 2015 - 8:00 PM

In October 1998, a twenty-one-year-old student named Matthew Shepard in Laramie, Wyoming was kidnapped, severely beaten and left to die - all because he was gay. Based on more than 200 interviews with the people of the town in the aftermath of the beating and during the trial of the two young men accused of killing Shepard, THE LARAMIE PROJECT is a deeply moving theatrical experience, a breathtaking collage that explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable. "Astonishing. Not since Angels in America has a play attempted so much: nothing less than an examination of the American psyche at the end of the millennium." -Associated Press
