SILENT SKY is the inspiring true story of one woman’s dedication to the stars, and how it changed the way we understand both the heavens and Earth. At the turn of the 20th Century, Henrietta Leavitt, a gifted astronomer ahead of her time, had the opportunity to serve as a “human computer” at the Harvard College Observatory, measuring and cataloging the brightness of stars from photographic plates. Though she was eager to make her own astronomical discoveries, women of the day were not allowed access to the observatory’s telescope. Still, Henrietta was not deterred and began her own work recording changes in the stars based on the collection of plates she studied. This led her to astonishing scientific discoveries that have had a profound and enduring impact on the field of astronomy. In this poignant blend of science, history, family, and love, a brilliant young woman charts her own passionate journey through a society determined to keep a woman in her place.

There will be a post-show panel discussion on Opening Night (March 2).
