El Camino College’s fall production of “The Laramie Project” will run at the Campus Theatre from Friday, Nov. 14 to Sunday, Nov. 23.
Based on true events, the play explores the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old gay college student at the University of Wyoming.
The play examines how the community reacted to the murder, touching on themes of prejudice, empathy, compassion and hatred.
“It’s a very popular play, and it’s also a very good one, I have not yet seen it but what I’ve heard from others that have done it and seen it is they really enjoyed it,” ECC stage technician Greg Grass said.
Performances begin at 8 p.m. on Nov. 14, 15, 21, and 22, and at 3 p.m. on Nov. 16 and 23.
Tickets are now available online here and in person for purchase.
Student admission costs a discounted rate of $11 with a valid ECC ID, while general admissions cost $17 and are available at the Ticket Office located at the southern side of Marsee Auditorium.
The Ticket Office is open Monday and Wednesday from noon to 4:30 p.m., except for a lunch break from 2-2:30 p.m.

![El Camino College Human Resources Technician Ana Florentino holds a treat bowl at her desk Wednesday, Oct. 22, which was decorated in preparation for children on campus going trick-or-treating through the office. Florentino and Martha Lopez, who also works in the HR Department, are a part of a group in their office who always decorate. "We kinda decorate all the time for every season, and they told us they were going to do trick or treating for the kids coming so we tried to prepare for [them] coming in," Lopez said.
