Silent Sky
by Lauren Gunderson
FIND YOUR LIGHT

The incredible true story of a boundary-shattering New England astronomer.

Look to the stars with this luminously beautiful play that lights your heart!
Astronomer Henrietta Leavitt trades the comforts of her rural home for a job at the Harvard Observatory in Massachusetts. Her ambition leaves both her family and her new colleagues (women known simply as “computers”) perplexed. But with a single discovery, their views of themselves, each other, and the universe itself will be upended for all time. A story still familiar today, and familiar to the  women "computers" at NASA in the 50' & 60's, as celebrated recently in the movie Hidden Figures.

An incredible story of bold love, boundless determination, and the vast grandeur of the cosmos—an unparalleled treat for the heart, mind, and senses.
