This weekend, members of The Laramie Project cast took part in a weekend intensive workshop led by Scott Barrow—actor, writer, director and member of the Tectonic Theater Project.
Over the last 15 years, Tectonic has established itself as one of the most groundbreaking theater companies in the country. Five weeks after the murder of Matthew Shepard in Laramie, Wyoming, members of Tectonic went to the town to learn more about why he was murdered. Using a collaborative, process-based approach, Tectonic crafted The Laramie Project entirely out of interviews conducted over six trips to the town.
The play, originally done with eight actors playing 63 roles, will be performed with a cast of 19 at Williston this spring.
Landscape and Portrait paintings by Christopher Bagg are on exhibit now in the Grubbs Gallery through Jan. 30th. Stop in and see!
