About the Event
Music Theatre of CT is excited to work with Darien Pride to produce this reading of The Laramie Project! As a Pride Month event, we hope audiences will join us on this evening to watch the show, engage in the content, and support Darien Pride, MTC, the LGBTQIA+ community, professional theatre, and Darien Public School students.
About the Play
In October 1998, 21-year-old Matthew Shepard, an openly gay college student, was brutally beaten and left to die on the plains outside Laramie, Wyoming. Hailed as one of the most captivating and encompassing pieces of contemporary theater, The Laramie Project is a breathtaking collage that explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable.
Warning: This play is based on a true story, and includes strong language and mature content that some may find upsetting, including descriptions of homophobia, violence and death.
