Description:

With a focus of simplicity and clarity, “Not Alone: The Power of Response” is a new visual project containing original letters from people affected by the loss of Matthew Shepard. Three themes guide the letters; Empathy, containing cards of sympathy and compassion for the Shepard family; Responsibility, focusing on those who felt the right to teach tolerance; and Action; a tribute to those who found hope and inspired change in their own communities because of Matthew's story. This exhibition was created by Ford’s Theatre Society, Washington, DC and Split Rock Studios, MN, as part of The Lincoln Legacy Project, Fall 2013. Curated by Heather Hoagland, the exhibit is organized by and provided courtesy of the Matthew Shepard Foundation.

The exhibit can be viewed a half hour before the start of each performance time of THE LARAMIE PROJECT and the readings of TEN YEARS LATER, as well as during special open exhibit hours on Saturday, October 25 from Noon - 4:00PM, Thursday, October 30 from Noon - 4:00PM, and following the 2:00PM performances on November 1 and November 2 until 6:00PM.
