DENVER—Denver hosted one of the dozens of readings of a new epilogue about the death of Matthew Shepard.
At the University of Denver on Monday, Gov. Bill Ritter was among Coloradans participating in a reading of the work, developed by the creators of the “The Laramie Project.”
“The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later—An Epilogue” also was read at more than 130 theaters nationwide Monday, the 11th anniversary of Shepard’s death.
The work includes material from a prison interview with Shepard’s killer, Aaron McKinney. He’s depicted as being candid but not remorseful over the murder.
Shepard died at a Colorado hospital after being found beaten and left tied to a fence outside Laramie, Wyo. Police said Shepard was targeted because he was gay.
