This compelling play about bigotry and hate crime, inspired by the 1998 beating death of Matthew Shepard and based on interviews with Wyoming residents, gets a multimedia makeover in a new production at the University of Indianapolis. The limited-seating audience will be on stage, with the actors arranged in an arc around them and video cameras feeding live images to three projection screens. Performances will be followed by talk-back sessions with guest speakers. In conjunction with the run, the Department of Theatre will host filmmaker Michele Josue at 7:30 p.m. April 25 for a discussion and screening of her award-winning documentary Matt Shepard Is a Friend of Mine.
