Mindy Cohen, Station Manager of WXAC, Julia Matthews, Professor of Theater, as well as students Freshman Justin Fitzpatrick and Sophomore Rachel McCoun discuss the upcoming visit of National Speaker Judy Shepard. Ms. Shepard is the mother of Matthew Shepard, who was brutally murdered in his hometown of Laramie, Wyoming just over ten years ago for being gay. Ms. Shepard speaks all over the country using the tragedy of her family to inspire tolerance and acceptance. In addition to a speech by Judy Shepard, Albright’s Domino Players will be premiering their latest show, The Laramie Project, which also deals with the Shepard family and the town of Laramie.
Her speech will take place in the Memorial Chapel on Thursday April 30 and 8:00pm and the Domino Players Production of The Laramie Project will premier on May 1 at 8:00pm in the Wachovia Theater.
