The League of Professional Theatre Women will present an Oral History Project event with 4-time Tony Award-nominated producer Alia Jones-Harvey on Monday May 24 at 6pm on Zoom. The interview with Ms. Jones-Harvey will be pre-recorded and will be followed by a live Q&A.

The Oral History Project is an ongoing program of the League of Professional Theatre Women that chronicles and documents the contributions of significant theatre women in all fields. Founded and produced for 26 years by the late Betty Corwin, the Oral History Project is currently produced for the League by Ludovica Villar-Hauser. For the second installment in the Oral History Project's 2020-21 season, the Olivier Award Winning and 4-time Tony Award-nominated producer Alia Jones-Harvey will talk about her career with two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage.

The central project of MasterVoices’ 2020-2021 season is a virtual rollout of award-winning composer Adam Guettel’s theatrical song cycle, Myths and Hymns, in an online staging conceived by Ted Sperling. Inspired by Greek myths and a 19th-Century Presbyterian hymnal, the 1998 cycle is a kaleidoscopic collection of musical genres as it explores the nature of faith and longing in a secular world. New short musical films illustrate the protagonist’s attempt to seek answers in four ways – through Flight, Work, Love, and Faith. The four chapters of this personal voyage will be released in free digital installments throughout the winter and spring – Flight (January 13), Work (February 24), Love (April 14), and Faith (May 26).
