The Laramie Project

Upper School thespians performed “The Laramie Project” in September 2022, a powerful, thought-provoking play that tells the stories of real people who lived in Laramie, Wyoming when Matthew Shepard was murdered. The play was originally presented at USM in 2007. “I read this piece nearly 20 years ago, and was moved by its subject matter and its documentary style,” said director and Upper School Drama Teacher Mark Edwards. “Our students have taken on the extraordinary responsibility and challenge of embodying this diverse group of humans. I am so proud of their diligent study and risk-taking throughout the process.”
