"Silent Sky" tells the story of real-life American astronomer Henrietta Leavitt, whose discovery of how to effectively measure vast distances to remote galaxies led to a shift in our understanding of the scale and the nature of the universe. When Leavitt begins work at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s, she isn't allowed to touch the telescope or express an original idea because she is a woman. Instead, she joins a group of women "computers", charting the stars for a renowned astronomer who calculates projects in "girl hours". As she pursues her own research in her free time, she must also take measure of her own life and try to balance her dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love. Directed by Bea Quarrie. Performances at 7:30 p.m. on March 21 and 22, 27 to 29, and April 3 to 5, with 2 p.m. matinee performances on March 23 and 30.
