On Saturday January 26th, at 7:30 PM, Vermont Pride Theater at Chandler presents a benefit staged reading of The Laramie Project by Moises Kaufman. The play, described by Time Magazine as "...a powerful stage event," asks how Laramie, Wyoming was changed by the 1998 murder there of college student Matthew Shepard. Proceeds go to the Matthew Shepard Foundation.
Williamstown resident Cher Laston Is directing. Her cast of 10 comes from across the region: Rowly Brucken (Northfield), Samantha Loesch (Waitsfield), Gina Logan (Braintree), Susan Loynd (Fayston), Rae Merrell (Brookfield), Hilary Mullins (Bethel), Zoe Newmarco (Rochester), Ramsey Papp (Randolph), Kris Rowley (Brookfield), and Amy Elizabeth Shalvoy (Chelsea).
The performance will be followed by a talkback among audience members and the ensemble, and then a meet-and-greet complimentary reception.
