His bloody, bruised and battered body was not discovered until the next day, and he died several days later in an area hospital. His name was Matthew Shepard, and he was the victim of this assault because he was gay.

Other InfoMoises Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theater Project made six trips to Laramie over the course of a year and a half in the aftermath of the beating and conducted more than 200 interviews with the people of the town. 'The breadth of reaction to the crime is fascinating and Kaufman and Tectonic Theater members have constructed a deeply moving theatrical event from these interviews and their own experiences.'

Cody was the high school jock and the only black guy in the school; Belinda was the high school cheerleader. The new housemate's presence in the couple's seemingly stable family life exposes deep uncomfortable truths about all three of them. These truths are questionable however, as the story is being told through the eyes of the young man. As the events unfold and scenes are played out differently, we see both the perversion of the truth and the narrator's mind.

SynopsisJoin Olga and Alexander (or is it Yuri?) as they hurtle through an evening of visitations from some strange, and sometimes familiar, characters. Is the stranger a spy, or their son? Is he a Brigadier or an Admiral? Will they save their apples from the tax inspector? Will Don Corleone find all his oranges? War and Peas is a teatro misto of the Cherry Orchard, The Godfather, and Gardener's World, with a sprinkle in a bit of Chernobyl, phishing e-mails and a Somalian Pirate.

SynopsisThere is a lawyer, his pretty wife, his mother in law, an impecunious uncle who falls asleep whenever he sits down, a hopeless maid, the lawyer's lawyer friend and a disgruntled cook. And then there is suddenly his first brief - a divorce. So there is now also the woman who wants a divorce but no scandal and her husband who wants no divorce. And then there are, of course, the mistresses - and one has a dog. And all this has something to do with the Veauradieux case and missing jewellery. So now there are the police too!
