On October 6, 1998, Matthew Shepard, a gay student at the University of Wyoming, was beaten and left tied to a fence in the outskirts of Laramie. He died in a Fort Collins hospital on October 12. Members of the Tectonic Theater Project wrote a play based on interviews with the people of Laramie, "The Laramie Project." In 2008, the Tectonic Theater Project returned to Laramie and re-interviewed the same people. Has the murder had a lasting effect on Laramie? Has Laramie changed as a result? Has America changed?
