On November 14th, 1998, ten members of Tectonic Theatre Project traveled to Laramie and conducted interviews with the people of Laramie Wyoming to collect the town’s stories of the murder of gay University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepherd . Over the next year, the company returned to Laramie six times and conducted over 200 interviews and these texts became the basis for the play The Laramie Project. Ten years later Tectonic returned to Laramie to try to understand the long-term effect of the murder. They found a town wrestling with its legacy and its place in history. THE LARAMIE PROJECT: TEN YEARS LATER is a bold new work, which asks the question, "How does society write its own history?"

Join NxNW Theatre Company for the Texas premiere of this staged production.

      I've never been so spellbound by one man's charisma. His control of my emotion utterly melted me into a molten pile of adoration. His work never ceases to amaze. He walks among us but behold, he is from beyond. If one word could encapsulate greatness it is Micah Gooding. Collapse

      I couldn't imagine a better way to experience the final chapter in the Matthew Shepherd history than on the City Theatre's intimate stage with NxNW's uniquely assembled cast of talent who are approaching this important piece with the reverence it deserves. The story is told in unassuming, straightforward interpretations. The characters are complex, infuriating, captivating, laughable, and above all, human. Each actor seems to be operating in conviction that these are actual people, not "roles" in work of fiction. Within seconds one loses the sense of being an audience to be entertained and instead begins to feel a witness to the unfolding of a small American town's real life struggle for identity and redemption as seen through the eyes of the Tectonic Theatre. For those of you who, like me find yourself burnt out on the Austin Theatre scene's ongoing obsession with shock-nudity, spectacle and buckets of stage gore, you are in for a refreshingly sincere experience.
