The Laramie Project
To try to make sense of this horrifying event, Moisés Kaufman and the Tectonic Theater Project made six trips to Laramie over the course of a year and a half in the aftermath of the beating and during the trial. They conducted over 200 interviews with people in the town. The Laramie Project is a compelling collage told by the people who lived in the town. 2009 The Foreigner

Crystal Springs Players is proud to be selected by the creators of the highly acclaimed play The Laramie Project as one of the theatre companies to premiere the compelling and groundbreaking epilogue to the original play: THE LARAMIE PROJECT: TEN YEARS LATER. This new “Epilogue” will be performed in New York at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall and at over 100 other theaters all across the country on the same evening, October12, 2009, the 11th anniversary of Matthew Shepard’s death. The cast of the upcoming Crystal Springs’ production of The Laramie Project will portray many of the same characters they are creating for the November performances of the original play. 
In October 1998, a twenty-one year old gay student at the University
of Wyoming was kidnapped, severely beaten and left to die on a fence
outside Laramie, Wyoming. Matthew Shepard died several days later.
This crime made national news. 
The scene is a fishing lodge in rural Georgia often visited by "Froggy" LeSeuer, a British demolition expert who occasionally runs training sessions at a nearby army base. This time "Froggy" has brought along a friend, a pathologically shy young man named Charlie who is overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers. So "Froggy," before departing , tells all assembled that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English. Once alone the fun really begins as Charlie overhears more than he should with the thought that Charlie doesn't understand a word being said. That he does, fuels the nonstop hilarity of the play.
