Silent Sky – Pull-Tight Players Theatre
Henrietta Leavitt works at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s, where she isn’t allowed to touch a telescope or express an original idea. She is part of a group of women “computers,” charting the stars for a renowned astronomer who has no time for the women’s probing theories. Silent Sky, the true story of this 19th-century astronomer, explores a woman’s place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries – when women’s ideas were dismissed until men claimed credit for them.
