Silent Sky
About
Silent Sky tells the story of real-life American astronomer Henrietta Leavitt. When Henrietta begins work at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s, she isn’t allowed to touch a telescope or express an original idea. Instead, she joins a group of women “computers,” charting the stars for a renowned astronomer. As Henrietta, in her free time, attempts to measure the light and distance of stars, she must also take measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance her dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love.With music and math bursting forth onstage, Silent Sky follows Henrietta and her female peers as they rewrite the cosmos and change the way we understand both the heavens and Earth.
