TheaTre OuT PresenTs
The Laramie ProjecT in FullerTOn
Constructed from more than 200 interviews, which were gathered over a year
and a half, The Laramie Project explores the kidnapping, beating and death of a
young gay man named Matthew Shepard. The emotional turmoil, bigotry and
mixture of deep compassion come direct from the citizens struggling to maintain
their small-town identity while being thrust into the national spotlight.
Theatre Out, Orange County’s home-grown gay and lesbian theatre company
will present this breathtaking and tremendously real play that sheds light on the
evils that men do and just one of many victims of a hate crime. The Laramie Project
originally debuted in March of 2000 to rave reviews and Time Magazine called it
“one of the ten best plays” of the year.
The production, being held at the Hunger Artists Theatre in Fullerton, is being
directed by Darcy Hogan and features a wonderfully talented cast including
Natalie Brooks, Kevin Cordova, Richard DeVicariis, Anthony Galleran, Judy Gish,
Chase Hinton, Ted Leib, MaryAnne Mosher, Jennifer Pearce, Randi Tahara, Robert
M. Tully, Maile Walker and Tim Woods.
