The Laramie Project is a touching piece of documentary theatre which chronicles the murder of Matthew Shepard, as told by residents of Laramie, Wyoming and members of the Tectonic Theatre Project. To the right is seen a moment from the interrogation of Aaron McKinney; I used a white pin spot from above as well as blue top light to mimic the look of interrogation rooms and add a sense of isolation.
We incorporated LED strip lights into the set, in the form of rays of the Sun. I used these to resemble light emanating from the Sun and to create mood lighting by using different colors.
