Announcing auditions for our upcoming fall show, THE LARAMIE PROJECT, directed by Laura Iacometta and Jess Hope Katz.
Based on history, the play centers on the
community of Laramie, Wyoming in the aftermath of the 1998 murder of Matthew
Shepard, a gay University of Wyoming student. The Tectonic Theater Project
conducted several interviews with members of the local public as well as their
own diary entries, news reports, and firsthand accounts.
In the theater world, The Laramie Project is a piece that aims
to inform and educate audiences about queer history as well as combat
anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and behaviors. A film based on the play, also written and
directed by Moises Kaufman, was released in 2002 starring Christina Ricci.
Sides will be provided.
Come out and support this important piece of queer theatre in northern New Jersey.
The production team includes co-directors Laura Iacometta and Jess Hope Katz as well as stage manager Lisa Sisco, production assistant Leyda Torres Ceglia, and publicist Scout Schiro.
