Check out all the recent press The Laramie Project: 10 Years Later has been getting.

This is a great video with author Greg Pierotti about his experience.

Not only is Pierotti one of the writers, but he's also a character in the play. If you haven't seen our production of the original Laramie Project yet, make sure you check it out this weekend.

Also check out this great article that went out on the AP wire:

And in other really cool news, a resolution has been introduced on the floor of Congress honoring all the participants in The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later

You can read the full text of the resolution here.

Up and running...

While we're still in pre-production for the epilogue, our production of the original Laramie Project opened on Friday to a packed house. The show went great and the audience response was overwhelmingly positive. We have 3 shows left, Sunday at 2p.m., and this coming Friday and Saturday at 7:30p.m. Drop by and see what this incredible company is up to.

The theatre department and The Laramie Project have received some great coverage in the local media. Check out these links...

Kicking off...

We're just about ready to kick off our production of The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later here at Stephens and couldn't be more excited. We're in a pretty unique position here in Columbia in that we're presenting a full production the original Laramie Project before presenting the epilogue. This gives the mid-Missouri audience a chance to experience both shows virtually back-to-back!

The assembled cast and crew of the original Laramie Project is doing amazing work. If you're in the Columbia area, please come and see what this incredible company is up to. The show opens this Friday. It runs Fri. and Sat. Sept. 25-26, Oct. 2-3 at 7:30p.m. and a Sunday matinee on Sunday September 27 at 2p.m.. Check out www.stephens.edu/performingarts for more information or call the box office at 573-876-7199.

The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later will be presented here on campus, as it will across the country, on October 12. Look for our production at 7:30p.m. in Windsor Auditorium at 1405 W. Broadway, about a block West of College Ave.. There is no charge for this special evening.

After the performance we're going to link in to the live talkback with the play's authors from New York's Lincoln Center. It should be an amazing evening. Come be a part of modern theatrical history.
