  3. Our Town / The Laramie Project


Considered by many to be the greatest American play ever, Our Town depicts the town of Grovers Corners in three acts: Daily Life, Love and Marriage, and Death and Eternity. Narrated by a stage manager character and performed with minimal props and sets, this classic chronicles the Webb and Gibbs families as their children fall in love, marry, and eventually in one of the most famous scenes in theatre die.In 1998, a university student named Matthew Shepard was kidnapped, beaten, and tied to a prairie fence outside Laramie, Wyoming. When he died days later, the world learned Shepard was targeted because he was gay. A breathtaking collage of the local residents, The Laramie Project is virtuously determined to find the light in an event of harrowing darkness and exposes the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable.Laramie is a latter-day Grovers Corners, a cozy place where everyone appears to know everyone elses business and actually finds comfort in this. The Laramie Project is Our Town with a question mark, as in, Could this be our town? It cant happen here, followed immediately by And yet it has.' - The New York Times
