Black Hills Community Theatre continues its 50 th season with a one-night- only staged reading of The Laramie Project by Moises Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project. Conceived and
created in the aftermath of the 1998 killing of gay college student Matthew Shepard, The Laramie Project is a theatrical portrait of a town coming to grips with vicious, hate-fueled violence. 20 years after Matthew’s horrible death, the show stands as a breathtaking collage exploring the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable.
