Knock, knock! Who鈥檚 there? Why, it鈥檚 Death! One of America鈥檚 hottest young playwrights gives the 15th century morality play a much-needed lift of theatrical whimsy. Everybody offers a darkly comedic twist on the meaning of life, death, and all that lies between when Death summons a character called 鈥淓verybody鈥� to their inevitable fate. Everybody needs to give an accounting of their life and desperately searches among everyone and everything in the hopes of finding a companion along life鈥檚 final journey.

The Laramie Project by Moises Kaufman
Directed by Kels Ervi
Chakeres Memorial Theatre
February 11-14

The Laramie Project presents a deeply complex portrait of a community鈥檚 response to the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, a young gay man living in Laramie, Wyoming. This is a verbatim docudrama that is based on over 400 interviews that members of the Tectonic Theater Project recorded when they visited the town of Laramie. In a series of poignant reflections, the residents react to the hate crime and surrounding media storm with anger, bewilderment and sorrow. The play portrays the seismic and deeply personal impact Matthew鈥檚 death had on this small town while also demonstrating the power of the human spirit to triumph over bigotry and violence.
