Laramie Project
The Laramie Project was a play about the tragic death of Mathew Shepard. Mathew Shepard seemed like just a normal college kid, in Laramie, Wyoming, aside from the fact that he was homosexual. Homosexuality really wasn’t something people in Laramie were used to. In 1998 Shepard was kidnapped by Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson from Laramie, Wyoming. He was taken to a field over-looking Laramie, and was then tied to a fence post and was repeatedly beat in the head. ... Our drama department at school recently performed The Laramie Project. ... Laramie was a quiet little town in Wyoming where everyone knew everyone and everyone knew everyone’s business.
