Paper Lantern Theatre presents THE LARAMIE PROJECT: 10 YEARS LATER

The creators of the highly acclaimed play THE LARAMIE PROJECT, which since 2000 has been one of the most performed plays in America, will premiere a compelling and groundbreaking epilogue to the original piece. Entitled THE LARAMIE PROJECT: 10 YEARS LATER, the play will be performed in New York at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, and over 100 other theaters in all fifty states, Canada, Great Britain, Spain, Hong Kong and Australia on October 12, 2009. The writers of this play are Tectonic Theater Project members Moisés Kaufman, Leigh Fondakowski, Greg Pierotti, Andy Paris, and Stephen Belber.

In tandem with the Premiere, an online interactive community will be launched where participants can blog, upload video and photos and share their stories about the play, experiences in preparing and presenting the Epilogue in their communities.

Paper Lantern Theatre Company will join with theatres across the country to present this important new work. The performance is at 8pm, and will be held at Twin City Stage, 610 Coliseum Drive, Winston-Salem, 27103. The performance is free and donations will be accepted at the door and throughout the evening. All proceeds will benefit The Adam Foundation and the Matthew Shepard Foundation.
