On October 7th, 1998, Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old student at the University of Wyoming, was brutally attacked outside of Laramie, Wyoming and left to die. On October 12, Matt passed away in a hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado. October 7th would become one of the most know anti-gay hate crimes in American History. Since Matt’s death, his legacy has challenged and inspired millions to erase hate in all forms. Through those who still continue to fight hate with love, Matt’s memory lives on. Our cast consists of actors ages 14 to 18, of LGBTQ+ identity and different backgrounds. Matthew's story, and the story of Laramie, has moved us and pushed us to share Matt's legacy. Show dates are November 6th and 7th at 7pm, and November 8th at 2 pm.
