Jayce拉姆齐's Senior Capstone: The Door By Paul Elliott

Jayce拉姆齐, 高三学生, participated in the University of Denver’s theatre department’s senior capstone cycle this year, where he directed the play, “门." The play is a compelling story that revolves around a gr和mother in her late 50s who isolates herself after her gr和son's brutal murder due to suspected homosexuality. Her teenage gr和son, Justin, attempts to help her re-engage with the world. Through their interactions, the play emphasizes the importance of family support during difficult times 和 sheds light on the issue of violence against LGBTQ+ individuals. It aims to raise awareness 和 advocate for societal change to create a more inclusive 和 accepting community. 为什么要看这个节目?? Jayce is a member of the LGBTQ+ community 和 he believes it is important to bring queer voices to the theatre on 和 off stage. Another reason he picked this show for his capstone is because at the end of the show there is a slideshow of hate crime victims. It brings attention to the fact that hate crimes against the LGBTQ+ community are still a present-day issue. This grant allowed him to put on a wonderful production of “The Door.”
