...actors talked to nearly 200 people and amassed some 400 hours of interviews over the next year. Verbatim excerpts from those interviews make up the text for The Laramie Project, an unusual amalgam of play and documentary that is about to open in New York City after an acclaimed run in Denver. There, with many Laramie residents who are portrayed in the work sitting in the audience, the show drew standing ovations. "It brought a whole new focus on events," says Casper, Wyo., Star-Tribune reporter Tiffany Edwards, who choked back tears on opening night in Denver. "That...

...promised "A new gospel based on archaeology and the Bible," but Price's article was simply a trite amalgam of the synoptic Gospels (Mark, Matthew and Luke).
