Developed after the murder of openly gay University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard in 1998, The Laramie Project gives voice to the real life testimony of more than 50 residents of the town, as they struggle to come to terms with the event and the questions raised in the wake of violence.
Laramie premiered in New York in 2000, playing to rave reviews and enthusiastic audiences. Time Magazine called it “one of the ten best plays of the year.” Studio 180 was pleased to present its Canadian professional premiere at the Artword Theatre in 2003.
Our inaugural production met with such success that we remounted Laramie in 2004. In association with Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, and as part of their 25th anniversary season, Laramie returned to great acclaim, garnering two Dora nominations (for Set and Lighting Design).

“This play never judges anybody… [Its] straightforwardness, the inevitable snatches of comedy that arise from the interviews and the great swathes of sorrow also apparent in Laramie make the project utterly compelling.”
★★★★ GLOBE AND MAIL
“A wonderful tapestry of compassion and hate woven together with invisible threads of homophobia and humanity… An excellent, moving piece of theatre.”
NNNN NOW MAGAZINE
“The play grips, and it won’t let you go”
