In Performance: Mercedes Herrero and Andy Paris of \'The Laramie Project\'

The Tectonic Theater Project’s 2000 docu-play, “The Laramie Project,” is based on interviews with 200 people after the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, a gay 21-year-old student in Laramie, Wyo. In 2010 the company went back to Laramie to interview several of those people again, and then created “The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later.” The two works will be performed in repertory, featuring members of the original cast, at the Harvey Theater of the Brooklyn Academy of Music from Feb. 12-24. In these scenes from “The Laramie Project,” Mercedes Herrero plays Reggie Fluty, the officer who discovered Matthew Shepard’s body, and Andy Paris plays Dr. Cantway, the doctor who tended to him.

Recent videos include Will Chase putting a country twist on a number from “The Mystery of Edwin Drood” and Gia Crovatin in a scene from Neil Labute’s short play “In the Beginning.”

Coming soon: Maggie Siff and Jonathan Cake in a duologue from “Much Ado About Nothing” and Tina Packer in a scene from her Shakespeare-themed show “Women of Will.”
