(Jackson, WY) On Monday, October 12, 2009 all 50 states and other nations will partake in a historic event, raising awareness for the need to accept diversity and combat hate-related crimes, by presenting The Laramie Project-10 Years Later. The performance in Jackson will be at 7:00pm in the Center for the Arts Theater and will be free.

In 1998 Matthew Shepherd, an openly gay student, was beaten and left to die on a fencepost in Laramie, WY by two men who lured him from a bar earlier that evening. A month later Moises Kaufman and other writers from the Tectonic Theater Project in New York City came to Laramie to interview residents and see how a small town grapples with such a crime. The interviews became a play that was performed in thousands of theaters and was made into an HBO movie. Now, ten years later, Tectonic Theater Project has returned to Laramie to explore how Matthew Shepherd’s death has altered the community and interview the same residents, including Aaron McKinney, one of Shepherd’s murderers, who is serving a life sentence for the crime. These interviews have been created into an addendum to the original play. The 80-minute production will be performed globally on October 12, 2009.
