In the early 1900s, women were mapping the sky and dreaming big. Running March 9 – 31, 2018, Clague Playhouse’s production of Lauren Gunderson’s play ‘SILENT SKY’ tells a story as big as the Universe.
This real-life story of Henrietta Leavitt and her mighty crew of women astronomers chronicles their journey as they go from dreamers to discoverers at Harvard Observatory. In a time when women were called “computers,” Henrietta has many obstacles on her way to respect and success.
Having left her Wisconsin home and her family, this celestial romance explores Henrietta’s need to make new discoveries while balancing family, friends, and society’s expectations of women.
Directed by Curt Arnold, the cast consists of Brittany Nicole Gaul as Henrietta Leavitt, Jill Kenderes as Margaret Leavitt, Andrew Keller as Peter Shaw, Pam Matthews as Annie Cannon, and Molly Clay as Williamina Fleming.
The group sat down for a video interview before rehearsal to talk about their characters and about this extraordinary production. VIEW THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW BY CLICKING HERE.
