[Clague Playhouse News]

*Silent Sky*

by Lauren Gunderson

Directed by Curt Arnold

*SILENT SKY* presents the real-life story of Henrietta Leavitt and the
women working behind the scenes at the dawn of modern astronomy. Henrietta
leaves her family in Wisconsin to join a group of women “computers” at the
Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s, where she is not even allowed to
touch a telescope or express an original idea. Balancing her dedication to
science with family obligations and the possibility of love, she makes a
breakthrough discovery that enables astronomers to calculate the distance
between Earth and remote galaxies and stars. A celestial romance and true
story of discovery.
