Theology on Tap's speaker for June was Alyssa Wills, founder of The Sparrow Initiative, a performance group that uses music to inspire hope and initiate change in the community by producing thought-provoking concerts and commissioning new works that enrich the human spirit.
She spoke about her experience working as a Catholic artist and the role Catholic art plays in evangelization. She also shared her new opera based on the life of St. Joan of Arc, and how Joan helped to deepen her love and understanding of her vocation. Alyssa also performed one of the pieces live.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
