Birch & Teal Productions is now accepting auditions submissions for their upcoming production of The Laramie Project , to run as part of the Fierté Fredericton Pride 2026 Festival July 17 & 18, 2026 at the Fredericton Playhouse.
 

Synopsis: On October 6, 1998, a young, gay college student was beaten, robbed, and left to die on the outskirts of Laramie, Wyoming. The story became a national headline.  On November 14, 1998, The members of Tectonic Theater Project traveled to Laramie to conduct interviews with the people of the town. During the next year, they would return to Laramie several times and conduct over two hundred interviews. What resulted is this play: a montage of interviews, news reports, journal entries, and court transcripts documenting the town’s reactions to this event and the small group of theatre makers’ experiences as they searched for answers.
