Based on the true story of Henrietta Leavitt, Silent Sky tells the tale of a determined female astronomer whose groundbreaking discoveries changed our understanding of our place in the universe. Set a decade before women gained the right to vote, the play explores the pioneering women who were driven to step beyond the boundaries of accepted gender roles.  Poetic and inspiring, Silent Sky is a thought-provoking meditation on passion for the pursuit of knowledge, feminism, family, and the unyielding human spirit.
