Tectonic Theater Project founder and artistic director Moisés Kaufman directs.
Additionally, the Matthew Shepard Foundation and Tectonic Theater Project are filming a PSA video featuring Harvey Fierstein, Zachary Quinto, and more, alongside Judy and Dennis Shepard and Moisés Kaufman, to highlight the work of the two organizations. Proceeds from the reading will benefit both organizations, as well.
