Laramie At Sinclair Events Taking Place This Week

This week Sinclair Community College begins a series of events around The Laramie Project - a play that deals with the brutal 1998 kidnapping and murder of Matthew Shepard in Laramie, Wyoming.  

Events taking place this week include workshops, readings of the play, and lectures by Greg Pierotti, an associate writer and member of the Tectonic Theater Project.  In the wake of Shepard’s death, the company traveled to Laramie and conducted more than 200 community interviews.  From that - The Laramie Project was born

Laramie at Sinclair will culminate Friday night with a candle light vigil in Dayton’s Oregon District.

More information on upcoming events can be found at ‘Laramie at Sinclair’ on Facebook.
