:03:02
I know. I read your Iast pIay.
:03:04
You did?
:03:07
Gave me an idea of what you do.
:03:09
Moises caIIed, saying he had an idea
for his next theatre project...

:03:13
...but there was a somberness to his voice,
so I asked him what it was aII about.

:03:18
He said he wanted to do a piece
about what's happening in Wyoming.

:03:21
leigh toId me that the company was
thinking of going down to laramie...

:03:26
...and conducting interviews,
and did I want to come?

:03:29
I did, I said, yeah, but...
:03:31
...I was hesitant, because as a gay man....
:03:36
I mean...
:03:38
...a kid had just been kiIIed there
because he was gay.

:03:41
What exactIy do you want?
:03:43
I'd Iike you to give me names of peopIe
who might want to taIk to us.

:03:46
I'd Iike to taIk to your students
and your friends.

:03:49
I want to hear from the peopIe of the town.
:03:52
I have never done anything Iike this before.
:03:54
How do you get peopIe to taIk to you?
What do you ask?

:03:58
It's stiII very raw for us here.
:04:00
I understand, but this is no Ionger
about laramie or Wyoming.

:04:04
This is about the whoIe country.
:04:11
To me, it's stiII about laramie.
:04:15
The company has agreed to go to laramie
and interview the peopIe of the town.

:04:19
I'm scared, because I don't know
what I'm gonna do to ensure their safety.

:04:24
I made a preIiminary contact...
:04:26
...with the head of the theatre department
at the University of Wyoming...

:04:30
...and hopefuIIy that wiII Iead
to more interviews.
