Silent Sky

ASL interpreters: Amanda Smith-Hughes and Delaney Toone

Summary: The true story of a brilliant, history-making woman, hitherto unknown to many of us.

This true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt explores a woman’s place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries, when women’s ideas were dismissed until men claimed credit for them. Social progress, like scientific progress, can be hard to see when one is trapped among earthly complications; Henrietta and her female peers believe in both, and their dedication changed the way we understand both the heavens and Earth.

ASL interpreters will be located to the left of the stage (House Right) in order to give the best sight lines to follow the interpretation and the action on stage.
