*Silent Sky* by Lauren Gunderson Directed by Curt Arnold *Auditions:* Tuesday, December 5 and Wednesday, December 6 at 7:30 pm. *Show Dates:* March 9 - 31, 2018 (Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8pm, Sunday at 2pm) *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. *CAST OF CHARACTERS* *Women:* *Henrietta Leavitt* –30s, brilliant, meticulous, excited.
