Gay Central Valley is proud to present, in cooperation with the New Conservatory Theater Center in San Francisco, THE LARAMIE PROJECT - 10 YEARS LATER.

Ten years after the brutal death of gay University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard, five members of Tectonic Theatre Project returned to Laramie to try to understand the long-term effect of the murder. They found a town wrestling with its legacy and its place in history.

There will be two exclusive performances in Fresno on June 16th and 17th at the Unitarian Universalist Church.  The 16th is an evening performance and the 17th is an afternoon performance.

There will also be a special Laramie AFTER PARTY at the North Tower Circle the night of the 16th. A five dollar donation at the door is requested. Horchata Fresca and Friends will be performing an Exclusive Drag Show that night and there will be free giveaways and a Sea of Green Raffle. The cast of The Laramie Project - 10 Years Later will also be at the Circle for a Meet & Greet...Visit the Facebook event for the After Party HERE
