The Laramie Project
by Moises Kaufman

A groundbreaking docudrama exploring the kaleidoscope of perspectives surrounding the 1998 murder of Mathew Shepard in Laramie, Wyoming. Based on over 200 interviews conducted by Moises Kaufman and members of his Tectonic Theatre Project with the residents of Laramie, from the bicyclist who first discovered Shepard’s body bound to a fence on the outskirts of town to the Reverend Fred Phelps who staged a anti-gay protest outside Shepard’s funeral. The resulting 30-plus monologues not only reveal the multiplicity of perspectives on homosexuality and tolerance in one small town community, but in America as a whole.

With his trusted companion, Doctor Watson, at his side, Sherlock Holmes pursues first the case, and then the affections of Miss Adler—and in doing so, marches right into the lair of his longtime adversary, that malevolent genius of crime: Professor Moriarty. “The game is afoot, Watson—and it is a dangerous one!”

Clean
houses, messy lives,
and surprising relationships.
With hectic jobs as doctors,

housekeeper named Matilde.
The problem? She would
much rather spend her
day trying to write the
perfect joke. So when
Lane’s “tidy” sister
Virginia approaches Matilde
about taking over these
dreadful duties for her
because she is so obsessed
with cleaning, she can’t
help herself. Matilde’s
prayers seem to be answered.
Yet, when Charles falls
madly in love with one
of his patients, things
quickly start to turn
messy in this absurd
and wickedly inventive
dark comedy from one
of the most unique voices
in American theatre today.
