"The Laramie Project," by Moisés Kaufman and the members of the Tectonic Theater Project, comes to the SUNY Cortland Performing Arts Department this fall. Directed by Mark Reynolds, the play draws on hundreds of interviews conducted in Laramie, Wyoming, following the murder of Matthew Shepard in 1998. Company members traveled to Laramie six times over the course of a year and a half, weaving the town’s own words into a portrait of grief, fear and resilience. The result is a documentary-style work told through the voices of Laramie’s residents, from ranchers and clergy to students and police officers. SUNY Cortland’s BFA Musical Theatre students bring this ensemble piece to the stage in the Dowd Fine Arts Center Theatre. Performances run Oct. 1-4.

New York’s Medical Aid in Dying law took effect August 5, 2026. What does the new law mean for people facing the end of life, and what will it take to make this option accessible in our community?
Hear from speakers representing Compassion & Choices, a national organization advocating for medical aid in dying; End of Life Choices New York, which is working to implement the law; Hospicare; and Kendal, along with Myra Shulman, whose mother chose medical aid in dying in California.
