Does anyone know if there is a one act version of 'The Laramie Project'? probably not - but I thought I would check =)

I am not aware of an actual one act version of the show, but I did help out with a production that went to the AACT national theatre festival a couple years ago which had been cut to fit the 60 minute time requirement for that festival.

My theater is in Casper Wyoming, and Matt Shepherd was one of our actors before going to the University in Laramie..we did The Laramie Project a number of years ago, and I can tell you, unless you are doing it specifically for competition, there is no way to produce it for an hour, without losing a lot of its critical message. I wouldn't even try! But, best of luck!
