Five days later\, when Matt passed away\, the world was watching. Approaching the ev e of the 20th anniversary\, Craig Hella Johnson has responded with his fir st concert-length work\, Considering Matthew Shepard.
\nThis three-p art fusion oratorio speaks with a fresh and bold voice\, incorporating a v ariety of musical styles seamlessly woven into a unified whole. Johnson se ts a wide range of soulful texts by poets including Hildegard of Bingen\, Lesléa Newman\, Michael Dennis Browne\, and Rumi. Passages from Matt’s per sonal journal\, interviews and writings from his parents Judy and Dennis S hepard\, newspaper reports and additional texts by Johnson and Browne are poignantly appointed throughout the work.
\nConsidering Matthew Shep ard joins the ranks of many significant artistic responses to Matthew Shep ard’s legacy. Most noteworthy is The Laramie Project by Moises Kaufman and the members of the Tectonic Theater Project\, which has been seen by more than 30 million people. Jason Marsden\, Executive Director of the Matthew Shepard Foundation calls Considering Matthew Shepard “by far the most int ricate\, beautiful\, and unyielding artistic response to this notorious an ti-gay hate crime.”
\nMatthew Shepard’s story must never be forgotte n.
