League of Pro Theatre Women Present Paula Vogel

On Monday, June 5 at 6 p.m., the League of Professional Theatre Women (LPTW), a not-for-profit organization committed to promoting visibility and increasing opportunities for women in the professional theater, is presenting Tony Award-Nominated and Pulitzer Prize-winning Playwright Paula Vogel, whose critically-acclaimed "Indecent" is nominated for a 2017 Tony Award for Best New Play and she is Lifetime Achievement Obie Award this month.

Vogel will be discussing her extensive body of work in theater, film, and TV, with Drama Critic Linda Winer. The event will take place in the Bruno Walter Auditorium of the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts on 65th Street & Amsterdam Avenue. Admission is free; seats are available on a first-come-first-seated basis.

"We are thrilled that Pulitzer Prize winner and Tony-nominated playwright Paula Vogel will be interviewed by Drama Critic Linda Winer for our next Oral History interview," said producer Betty Corwin. "It will surely be an exciting and fascinating conversation between two outstanding theater women."

The League has major support from the Edith Meiser Foundation covering interviews with such notables as Billie Allen, Mercedes Ruehl, Tyne Daly, Patti LuPone, Christine Ebersole, Kia Corthron, Donna Murphy, Frances McDormand, and many others. The ongoing Oral History Project chronicles and documents the contributions of significant theater women in many fields. The interviews are videotaped and preserved for posterity in the Theatre on Film and Tape Archive at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center.

This program is made possible, in part, with public funds from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council, and with funds from the NYS Council on the Arts, a state agency, with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo.
