30 by Ninety Theatre presents THE LARAMIE PROJECT, written by Moises Kaufman and the members of The Tectonic Theatre Project.

In October 1998, a twenty-one-year-old student at the University of Wyoming was kidnapped, severely beaten, and left tied to a fence in the middle of the prairie outside Laramie, Wyoming. His bloody, bruised, and battered body was not discovered until the next day, and he died several days later in an area hospital. His name was Matthew Shepard, and he was the victim of this assault because he was gay. Moisés Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theater Project made six trips to Laramie over the course of a year and a half, in the aftermath of the beating and during the trial of the two young men accused of killing Shepard. They conducted more than 200 interviews with the people of the town. Some people interviewed were directly connected to the case, while others were citizens of Laramie, and the breadth of the reactions to the crime is fascinating. Kaufman and Tectonic Theater members have constructed a deeply moving theatrical experience from these interviews and their own experiences in Laramie. THE LARAMIE PROJECT is a breathtaking collage that explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable.

Based on a true story, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas is a bold, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt musical blending country, gospel, and Broadway styles. Many audiences recognize the story from the hit 1982 film adaptation starring Dolly Parton, Burt Reynolds, and Dom DeLuise. Set in a small Texas town, the show centers on the legendary Chicken Ranch and the clash between tradition, politics, morality, and community. With big ensemble numbers, sharp satire, and unexpected warmth, this musical is both outrageous and deeply human.
