Greetings!
We just opened The Laramie Project this last weekend. After six weeks of difficult work, the show previewed on Thursday and Friday and opened on Saturday night to a full house.
With the latest hate crimes in Massachusetts and locally in Chicago, along with the Rev. Fred Phelps protesting the funerals of returning dead soldiers from Iraq - The Laramie Project still has a relevance today and speaks to people. It is the type of work that provides many questions and stimulates conversation.
Working on the play has been a wonderful experience. Our cast hails from across the country and brings a commitment and energy I haven't seen in some time. They've continued to grow in their roles and the play seems to take on new life and energy every time it is performed.
