In October 1998 Matthew Shepard was kidnapped, severely beaten and left to die, tied to a fence on the outskirts of Laramie, Wyoming. Five weeks later, members of the Tectonic Theater Project conducted more than 200 interviews that comprise The Laramie Project, performed by Stage Troupe at 8 p.m. today in the Student Theatre at Agganis Arena.
