James Carpenter, Michele Leavy, Amy Resnick, et al. Set for Berkeley Rep’s Laramie Project Epilogue

James Asher, Kate Austin-Groen, James Carpenter, Matthew Chavez, Blake Ellis, Jeri Lynn Cohen, Michele Leavy, Alex Moggridge, Amy Resnick, and Lynne Soffer will be featured in Berkeley Repertory Theatre’s staged reading of The Laramie Project: 10 Years Later, to be presented on October 12, at 8pm.

Tectonic director Moises Kaufman and his co-writers — Stephen Belber, Leigh Fondakowski, Andy Paris, and Greg Pierotti — returned to Laramie last fall to re-interview several townspeople who originally gave accounts to Tectonic in 1998 about Shepard, and also spoke with Aaron McKinney, who was convicted of murdering Mr. Shepard.

Over 100 theaters and institutions around the world, including Arena Stage in Washington, Seattle Repertory Theater, About Face Youth Theatre in Chicago, the Newman Performing Arts Center in Denver, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles, will stage a reading of the 80-minute piece that evening. There will also be performances at the University of Wyoming and Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center.
