Silent Sky by Lauren Gunderson and directed by Jennifer Van Iderstyne. (July 26 at 8:00 pm, 27 at 2:30 pm and 8:00 pm, 28 at 2:30 pm).
Silent Sky dramatizes the true story of Henrietta Leavitt, an astronomer ahead of her time. It explores a woman’s place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries, when a woman’s ideas were dismissed until a man claimed credit for them.
Henrietta, joining a group of women in the early 1900s at Harvard University’s Observatory who are “human computers”, is motivated by a belief that there are galaxies beyond our own — a belief that defies the consensus among her male superiors. She begins the process of recording changes in stars – a scientific discovery that has a profound and lasting impact on the field of astronomy.
Schenectady Civic Players, 12 S. Church St., Schenectady. $20 — purchase at the door. Open seating at all performances. No advance reservations necessary. 518-382-2081 or www.civicplayers.org.
