Here comes Silent Sky!

The opening of Silent Sky is fast approaching! Rehearsals are in full swing and the production team silentskylogois as busy as ever. Stay up to date with all of the exciting things happening with this show through this site.

There will be inside-looks at rehearsal, historical information on the characters and events, and so much more!

If you have no idea what to expect from this show, then look no further! Silent Sky centers around Henrietta Leavitt, a Harvard “computer” who spent much of her adult life studying the stars. Her biggest contribution is discussed in the play, the Cepheid variable period-luminosity relationship. Playwright Lauren Gunderson brings to life Henrietta, as well as two other incredible astronomers, Annie Jump Cannon and Williamina Fleming in this beautiful story about love and the stars. Gunderson captures the struggle of being a female astronomer in a time when women were still not recognized as equals to men.

Silent Sky is directed by Dr. Vivian Appler and will be performed February 16, 2017-February 20, 2017 with all performances at 7:30pm, plus a 2:00pm matinee on Sunday.
