Students: Audition For ‘The Laramie Project’

“The Laramie Project” auditions are on Tuesday, Sep. 7, and Thursday, Sept. 9, from 11 a.m. to noon and 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. in Brandt Student Center, Room 115. Auditions consist of cold readings from the script. Sides will be provided. All are welcome to audition. “In October 1998, a 21-year-old student at the University of Wyoming was kidnapped, severely beaten and left to die, tied to a fence in the middle of the prairie outside Laramie, Wyoming. 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.” The play requires people of many races, sizes, shapes, levels of acting ability, ages, cultural backgrounds, belief systems and philosophies. “The Laramie Project” premieres on campus on Friday, Nov. 5, and Saturday, Nov. 6. This is sponsored through The [Not Just] Women’s Center and the Mosaic Center. Questions about auditions? Contact Sarah Celec at scelec112@su.edu.
