UPCOMING
The Laramie Project
Thursday | October 12 & Saturday | October 14
Ghost Light Theatricals in association with Fringe ArtSpace and Florida Theatrical Association present readings of The Laramie Project and The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Matthew Shepard’s death.
In October 1998, twenty-one-year-old Matthew Shepard was kidnapped, severely beaten and left to die, tied to a fence in the middle of the prairie outside Laramie, Wyoming.Matthew Shepard was the victim of this assault because he was gay.
The Laramie Project is a breathtaking theatrical collage that explores the complexity of identity and the human experience through the lens and voices of a community in crisis. The piece invites us to see ourselves in the fullness of our individual humanity and as a member of a larger community. The piece tempers an honest look at a horrific crime with the coming together of a community to say “Hate is not a Laramie value.”
The Spider Queen
Friday | October 20 – Sunday | October 29
Winner of the 2022 Broadway World Award for Best New Play, “The Spider Queen” returns to Orlando this Halloween in a brand new full length production.

Attempting to make sense of her world, she stumbles into a garden of flowers that each has their own idea of what it means to be a woman in the state of Denmark.
