Lauren Matheny Cast in OKC Bombing Project Play

2015 Apr 9

Lauren, was cast in "The 20th Anniversary Oklahoma City Bombing Project," an innovative theater production that is recognizing the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attack.

The play is incorporating an emerging form of theatre art called the verbatim process to reveal untold stories from the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. OCU theatre students will perform the original play that is based on interviews with more than 45 family members of victims, survivors, local officials and first responders.

OCU commissioned an award-winning playwright from England who specializes in verbatim, which is a documentary for the stage usually based on personal interviews and transcripts. Some of the interviews were conducted by the cast members.
