Eileen and Allen Anes Studio Theatre
The play follows the true story of 19th Century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt. Working at Harvard University with Dr. Edward Pickering, her scientific breakthrough profoundly impacts astronomy forever, even as she is torn between responsibilities to her family and to her own soaring thoughts and ambitions. Silent Sky is a celebration of science, female achievement, family, and music that shows how one woman’s determination forever altered the course of scientific history.
