The Laramie Project
Saturday, December 1, 2018
7:00 pm | CDS Theatre
In this 20th anniversary year of the murder of Matthew Shepard, Carrollwood Day School is proud to be able to partner with Matthew Shepard Foundation to present The Laramie Project. This play, not intended for audiences younger than 12 years old, focuses on the town of Laramie, coming to grips with the horrible, hate-fueled death of Matthew Shepard. The play reveals how deep hatred can go, as well as the compassion that lies within all people in a seemingly average community. CDS is bringing this play to the students, families, and community as a reminder that there is always hope, even in times of darkness.
20% of all ticket and t-shirt sales will be donated to the Matthew Shepard Foundation.
Join us for an Evening with Judy & Dennis Shepard

What has changed in the 20 years following the brutal murder of Matthew Shepard?
We are honored to have Matthew’s parents here with us at CDS to tell their story and inspire us to carry on Matt’s legacy. Together we can ERASE HATE and replace it with understanding, compassion and acceptance in our school, homes, and community.
This event is FREE and open to the community. Reservations are appreciated.
CDS will be closed on Monday, November 12
in honor of Veterans Day.
As we celebrate the men and women who have served our country in the armed services, we would like to extend a very special thank you to the proud veterans from our own faculty and staff:
