Lyric Arts Theater Kicks-off New Season with 'The Laramie Project'
ANOKA, Minn. -- This weekend starts a new chapter for a long-time theater in downtown Anoka.
The Lyric Arts Main Street Stage is kicking off its 2013-2014 season with 'The Laramie Project,' a play that looks at the reaction to the 1998 murder of University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard, who was gay.
Now Matt was sitting there. Aaron and Russell were in the pool area upon their first interaction, recalled the bartender who saw trouble.
A star-crossed moment leads to tragedy for gay college student Matthew Shepard. His story is told through vignettes, in The Laramie Project. A theater company went to Laramie, Wyoming to interview people, like cyclist Aaron Kreifels, who found Shepard's tortured body.
And that was a major key to me noticing it was a human being, Kreifels said. And it was,...his hair.
This is not a re-creation of the act of Matthew Shepard's murder, explained director Robert Neu.
Named Lyric Arts resident director last year, Robert Neu has taken on the challenge of bringing the aftermath to life, and how hatred impacted the community.
It has 12 actors who play 60 different roles and all of the language in the play are taken from exact quotes from the towns people, said Neu
The pathos of a town, put under the spotlight. The theme brings to mind recent steps taken in our own community - towards tolerance of gay marriage and anti-bullying measures taken up by local schools.
We can leave the theater understanding that we need to respect differences, Neu said about the plays affect on audiences. We don't need to agree with them, but we at least need to respect differences.
Now in its 14th season, Lyric Arts will bring some popular titles to the stage. But along with that, they plan to take some risks, with plays like Hormel Girls, and Junie B. Jones in Jingle Bells, Batman Smells.
Five years ago a lot of the plays the theater is producing maybe would have been met with, well we're not sure we're ready for this, and now the idea more is, the sky is the limit, of course we can do this, Neu said.
The new season at the Lyric Arts represents a new direction for the theater... which is trying to hold itself to a higher standard of artistic quality. The Laramie Project runs today through September 22nd.
