Starting Thursday, Bakersfield College Performing Arts will perform its rendition of “The Laramie Project” in the BC Indoor Theater.
“The Laramie Project” is a play that documents the impact of the killing of Matthew Shepard, an openly gay college student who had been beaten and tied to a fence, and left for dead on private land just outside of Laramie, Wyo.
Fourteen actors will embody more than 60 people, according to director Kimberly Chin.
The play is offered Thursday through Nov. 16, and Nov. 20 through Nov. 22. Most performances begin at 8 p.m. The Nov. 16 performance will begin at 4 p.m.
Tickets are $8 for general admission and $5 for students and seniors. No children under 6 are allowed.
