World Premiere - Spring 2025

In the realm of theater, some stories transcend mere entertainment to become powerful vehicles for social change and remembrance. An Echoing Spring from Colorado TINTS and written by Mike Broemmel stands as one such production, taking on the profound responsibility of telling Matthew Shepard's story through an artistic lens that both honors his memory and challenges audiences to confront the ongoing issue of hate crimes against the LGBTQ+ community.

The play delves into the tragic events of October 1998, when Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old University of Wyoming student, was brutally attacked and left to die near Laramie, Wyoming. Through carefully crafted scenes and thoughtful dialogue, An Echoing Spring explores not just the horrific crime itself, but the ripple effects it had on the community, the nation, and the broader fight for LGBTQ+ rights.
