Beau Meyer
Emma Bahnson and Anna Mei Baker star in University Theatre's production of "The Laramie Project."
In 1998, after Matthew Shepard, a gay University of Wyoming student, was tortured and tied to a fence, the trial of his murderers revealed a community roiled by conflict and misunderstanding. Members of the Tectonic Theatre conducted interviews with people all over the spectrum to gain insight into the hate and fear that fueled the incident. This UW-Madison theater department production examines our not-so-distant past to try to understand the present. Through April 29.
4/12-29, Vilas Hall-Hemsley Theatre, at 7:30 pm Thursdays-Saturdays and 2 pm Sundays.
