Laramie Project in Greensboro; May 2nd/3rd
by Matt | April 28th, 2007 |Don’t miss out on this wonderful event…
The American Hebrew Academy is proud to present The Laramie Project on May 2nd and 3rd at 7:30 pm at Temple Emanuel (Jefferson Road). The Laramie Project, by Moises Kaufman and the Tectonic Theatre Company, centers on the hate-crime murder of Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old gay man in Laramie, Wyoming. Kaufman and members of his theatre company traveled to Laramie several times during the year following the murder, collecting interviews from over 200 people. The result is a moving theatrical montage of voices from the community, one that can help us all examine our own feelings, not only towards the gay community, but towards all we call “other.”
The Academy is happy to have as sponsors: The Greensboro Jewish Federation, Temple Emanuel, Beth David Synagogue, NCCJ, and GSAFE. Contributors: Replacements, Ltd. and Judith Abraham.
Tickets may be purchased at the door. High school students free; $5/seniors (65+)/students; $10/adults
