LARAMIE 10 YEARS LATER - AN EPILOGUE is a sequel to The Laramie Project, which first premiered February 2000 at the Ricketson Theatre in Denver, Colorado.
The play, The Laramie Project, was the basis for the 2002 critically acclaimed HBO Original Film starring Camryn Manheim, Joshua Jackson and Christina Ricci.
The sequel picks up ten years later. The attitudes and the events that have transpired over those ten years are quite shocking, as members of the Tectonic Theatre Company return to Laramie and discover that many issues are still unresolved.
Validated parking at Hollywood and Highland.
