Assistant Professor of Theatre Mark Cryer is performing in The Laramie Project by Moisés Kaufman at Swine Palace, the professional theatre at Louisiana State University. Cryer is portraying eight different characters in the production, which will be open through May 9.  Following the brutal, hate-inspired murder of gay college student Matthew Shepard in 1998, the play’s creators traveled to the scene of the crime, Laramie, Wyo., and interviewed residents of the small town. The interviews were adapted into a moving, poignant script that asks the audience to consider how such a heinous crime and the media scrutiny that followed could affect an entire community’s existence.
