Free Theater: The Laramie Project
Missing the theater? UW-Green Bay Theatre is back and will be bringing you their latest play, The Laramie Project, from April 29 – May 2. This is a full production, staged and filmed, then streamed to your computer or device. While tickets are free, you will need to reserve one to receive the streaming link.
In 1998, the murder of gay college student Mathew Shepard rocked the country. This hate crime in the small town of Laramie, Wyoming, is the basis of The Laramie Project. Based on interview with the townspeople, this production probes the depths of hatred and bias towards the LGBTQ community.
Directed by Professor Rebecca Stone-Thornberry, the play was written by Moises Kaufmann and members of the Tectonic Theater Project.
You may reserve a free ticket for any available day, then watch it anytime within the viewing period. Please note that each ticket is good for one viewing only, so if you want to watch it again, you’ll need to reserve another ticket.
Visit the UWGB theater website to request a ticket.
“What Were You Wearing?” Exhibit Still Open
Just a reminder that the “What Were You Wearing?” exhibit runs through April 29th on the Marinette campus in room M-109. View the exhibit anytime between 8:00 a.m. – 4:40 p.m., Monday through Friday.
The “What Were You Wearing” exhibit provides a tangible response to one of our culture’s most pervasive myths, namely, that if a person was sexually assaulted, they must have been wearing revealing clothing to “ask for” the attack. Exhibit outfits have been recreated from the stories of student-survivors.
