Since its premiere eight years “The Laramie Project” has been a source of education and change . The play has been produced over 5,000 times by schools, community theaters, faith-based organizations and mainstream theater groups around the world. This play has become a powerful tool for communities to discuss and explore how hate impacts every part of their society.
 
“The most touching stories we have received were written after an individual has experienced a production of the Laramie Project. This extraordinary play captures the stark reality that hate still lives in all our communities. I am continually inspired to see how participating in or even viewing 'The Laramie Project', invokes the kind of emotion and passion it takes to begin the process of erasing hate.” Said Judy Shepard, Executive Director of the Matthew Shepard Foundation.

The Foundation is excited to announce a partnership with The Tectonic Theatre Project to develop a Laramie Project resource Kit for high schools and colleges who are producing the play.  This kit will be available in the coming months.

If you have questions about the play or would like to be notified when the resource kit is available, please contact the Foundation's Education Director.
