Five weeks later, Moisés Kaufman and fellow members of New York City’s Tectonic Theater Project went to Laramie, where they conducted more than 200 interviews with townspeople. From those interviews they wrote the play The Laramie Project, a chronicle of the life of the town in the year after the murder. A decade after Shepard’s death, Tectonic Theater Project members went back to Laramie to ask more questions. Has the murder had a lasting impact on the community? How has the town changed? What does Laramie tell us about life in today’s America? The results of the follow-up interviews form the basis of a sequel production, The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later–An Epilogue.
