The Laramie Project 
by Moises Kaufman and the Members of the Tectonic Theater Project

In October 1998, the murder of Matthew Sheppard thrust the quiet town of Laramie, Wyoming, into the national media spotlight.  In the months that followed, a company of actors conducted interviews with area residents to create this breathtakingly theatrical collage that explores everyday people struggling with the changing face of America.

First sketch, rural with oval projection screen suspended upstage.	Second sketch, more of a civic or municipal setting.  The walls break away to become projection surfaces. A rear projection screen hangs upstage.
The main street version. Upstage rear projection screen is angled toward the audience.	The less is more version. Additional projection screens and monitors are brought on from the wings.  The rear projection screen is still angled.
