L.A. Theatre Works (LATW), the nation's leading producer of audio theater, will build on its highly successful collaboration with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation through the Relativity series. This grant will support the recording, in studio and live in-performance, of three of the best new Foundation-supported plays over the next two years. Leading candidates include Smart, by Mary Elizabeth Hamilton, about bringing an Alexa-type AI assistant into your home; Have You Met Jane Goodall and Her Mother? by Michael Walek, about the famed primatologist and her first trip to Africa; and Las Borinqueñas, by Nelson Diaz-Marcano, about the development of the birth control pill as viewed through early clinical trials on women in Puerto Rico.   Each play recording is paired with supplemental material, including interviews with scientists, technologists and other experts.   In addition to these three new plays, LATW will nationally broadcast 12 other science plays from their Relativity series that were previously recorded. LATW will also take the same three plays plus eight additional science plays from the library to be remastered and released as podcasts.   An educational guide with play recordings will be distributed to 3,600 teachers, reaching an estimated 130,000 middle and high school students. There will also be comprehensive marketing and distribution and continued development of the LATW web site and Relativity educational portal.
