I went to the opening last night of the Albuquerque High theater kids' performance of The Laramie Project.

It was draining and moving and I'm tremendously proud of what the kids accomplished. It's a play worth caring about, and they honored it.

Tonight (Fri.) and Saturday this weekend (Oct. 1 and 2) and next Thurs. - Sat. (Oct. 7 - 10), 7 p.m., at the Albuquerque High School theater, 800 Odelia Rd NE. (Odelia is Indian School west of Interstate 25, enter the theater on the school's east side entrance.)
