"Laramie Project" Part 2 to be staged in October

The stage play "The Laramie Project" is getting a sequel.

Creators of the play about the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old gay man, are working on an 80-minute epilogue, according to The New York Times. The new play explores the impact of the murder that shocked the nation on the residents of Laramie, Wyo., where Shepard attended college.

"The Laramie Project - 10 Years Later" will open at Lincoln Center in New York City and at up to 100 theaters across the nation on Oct. 12, the 11th anniversary of Shepard's death. The Gay Mens Chorus of Los Angeles is reportedly among the groups that have committed to the project.
