Considering Matthew Shepard – 2:30 PM
This moving oratorio by Craig Hella Johnson serves as both an account of and reflection on the hatred that ended Matthew Shepard’s life.
This powerful work offers hope of acceptance and inclusion in a changing world in a concert reflecting on the themes of love and compassion.
A second performance will take place at 7:30 pm.
NOTE: This work includes direct quotations of the bigoted words of Westboro Baptist Church members, who picketed Shepard’s funeral. Audience members are warned of strong language and the intense themes in the piece.
Tickets are General Admission.
$30 adult | $20 student/arts worker| $10 child (under 14)
