"Tectonic's production of "The Laramie Project" and "Ten Years Later" is a rare wonder indeed. This is theater that's more than just powerful; it's elemental."
- Boston Herald
Now more relevant than ever, with a recent spate of gay teen suicide across the country, the gay bashing at the University of Michigan, etc., it is timely that Tectonic asks whether things have changed since Mathew Shepard's tragic death.
