IU School of Education Atrium

The Department of Literacy, Culture, and Language Education, Indiana University School of Education, invites you to a staged reading of "The Laramie Project" by Moisés Kaufman. This play is based on actual interviews with members of the community of Laramie, Wyoming, where Matthew Shepard was killed, and it presents the differing viewpoints of more than 60 characters in a series of short scenes.

In conjunction with this performance, the Commission on Multicultural Understanding is hosting a post-staged reading, in-depth discussion with panelists entitled "Why Are We Quiet?" on Saturday, March 6, from 9am to 12pm in the Grand Hall of the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center. This event is open to all IU community members. After the discussion, a free lunch will be served to all those who RSVP by March 3 to comu@indiana.edu.
