Ten years after the brutal and senseless murder of gay university student Matthew Shepard in Laramie, Wyoming, this dramatic chronicle of the incident continues to be received as a significant work of American theatre. . . Moises Kaufman and his company set out to investigate the death of Shepard by asking the people of Laramie to speak in their own voices about what occurred and how it impacted them as individuals and a community. . . .

The actors of The Western Stage under Selover's direction present a moving and committed version of the show... [There are] local theatre names you might recognize in the cast . . . Selover has gathered and fine tuned an excellent ensemble. Each member of which works with and for the whole — dedicated to the realization of Kaufman's remarkable vision . . . This is a rare and courageous work.
