TECTONIC THEATER PROJECT

With Moisés Kaufman at the helm, the 'Tectonic Theater Project' explores the ways in which experimentation with form and structure can inform theme in contemporary drama.
Perhaps most widely known for ''The Laramie Project'', a piece which examines the aftermath of the Matthew Shepard homophobic murder in Laramie, Wyoming by using actual interviews with townspeople to create the text of the play.
Other projects include '' by Moisés Kaufman and ''I Am My Own Wife'' by Doug Wright, both of which were created from historical and living records of actual events.
''Gross Indecency'' deals with the end of playwright Oscar Wilde's life, when he was put on trial for gross indecency due to his relationship with the Lord Alfred Douglas.
''I Am My Own Wife'' won the Tony Award for best play in 2004. It explores the life of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a transvestite who survived both the Nazi and Communist governments in twentieth-century Berlin and founded the Gründerzeit museum.
