The Laramie Project is one of the country's most impactful plays of the last 25 years. When a University of Wyoming student named Matthew Shepard was murdered in 1998, a small town community was forced to confront themselves in way they never expected. In the aftermath of the hate crime and trials of the perpetrators, the Members of Tectonic Theater Project conducted over 200 interviews with the citizens of Laramie, WY and turned those interviews into a theatrical masterpiece which the NY Times said "swims a stirring medley of emotions: anger, sorrow, bewilderment and, most poignantly, a defiant glimmer of hope."

John Proctor is the Villain
Written by Kimberly Belflower
Directed by Liz Dahmen
At a rural high school in Georgia, a group of lively teens are studying The Crucible while navigating young love, sex ed, and a few school scandals. Holding a contemporary lens to the American classic, they begin to question who is really the hero and what is the truth, discovering their own power in the process. Alternately touching and bitingly funny, this new comedy captures a generation in mid-transformation, running on pop music, optimism, and fury, writing their own coming of age story.
