Laramie Epilogue (2009)
The epilogue is a stirring follow-up to the original play, which examined, through interviews, the impact of the murder of Matthew Shepard on the citizens of Laramie, Wyoming. Here, Core Artistic Team member Derrick Chua greets audience members as they arrive. Photo by Nicolett Jakab.
Our eager audience piles into the performance space at Bread & Circus. All proceeds from the evening went to The 519 Church Street Community Centre. Photo by Nicolett Jakab.
Through a live Internet feed and the techno-magic of Twitter, we shared in the moving pre- and post-show speeches and Q&A happening at New York’s Lincoln Center (before and after our own reading). Here our capacity crowd is seen waiting for the pre-show feed from New York’s Lincoln Center to begin. Photo by Nicolett Jakab.
