The University's Queer and Allied Activism organization helped bring "The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later" - the world premiere of the epilogue to an original play about a University of Wyoming student's bias-related murder - to the University last night at McLeod Hall.
Members of the Tectonic Theater project originally wrote the critically acclaimed play, "The Laramie Project," to shed light on the reactions of people in Laramie, Wyo., to Matthew Shepard's murder Oct. 7, 1998. Shepard, a gay student at the University of Wyoming, was beaten to death by Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson, two heterosexual men he met at a bar. After Shepard accepted a ride home from them, McKinney and Henderson robbed, pistol whipped and assaulted Shepard, who the men then drove to a remote area and abandoned. Shepard, left in a coma, was found the next day and died five days later. McKinney and Henderson, charged with Shepard's murder, were convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
