Theatre Intime, Princeton University's premier student theater, is proud to present The Laramie Project by Moisés Kaufman (directed by Ethan Luk '24) as part of our 2021-2022 mainstage season!

In October 1998, a queer twenty-one-year old university student is kidnapped, beaten, and murdered on a fence in Laramie, Wyoming. The student's name is Matthew Shepard. Told through private confessions, court hearings, and news reports collected from the town, Moisés Kaufman's play (in collaboration with the Tectonic Theater Project) is a poignant commentary on the deep-rooted violence of our country, urging us to find grace and compassion beyond grief.

Performances are April 15th-17th and 22nd-24th at 8 PM. Tickets are $8 for students, $10 for faculty & seniors, and $12 for general audiences, and are available online at tickets.princeton.edu (preferred), the Frist ticketing office at 609-258-9220, or at the Theatre Intime box office 45 minutes before each show time.
