L.A. Theatre Works (LATW) produces high quality audio theater via staged readings by leading actors of some of the nation’s most exciting new plays. Plays recorded by LATW continue to have a life well after their theatrical runs and are broadcast on over 50 public radio stations across the U.S., on Radio Beijing in China, on the BBC World Service, via free online streaming and downloading, and through educational outreach to over 4,000 teachers and 14,000 community libraries. LATW’s Relativity series is a subset of its larger catalog that focuses on those plays that tackle scientific and technological themes. Two thirds of its 39-play Relativity catalog are plays that have been commissioned, developed, and/or produced by the Sloan Theater program. In addition to the recordings themselves, Relativity includes supplementary audio content, including interviews with directors and playwrights, and educational materials to help audiences further engage with a work’s scientific content and themes.  Funds from this grant will allow LATW to record and disseminate four new Sloan-developed plays as part of its Relativity series. Additional funds will support a project to remaster 12 plays in the existing catalog, bringing audio quality more in line with modern standards, and release them as podcasts for wider distribution.
