Silent Sky Trailer 2017

Written by Lauren Gunderson
Directed by Robert Yowell

"Silent Sky" by Lauren Gunderson is the true story of 19th century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt who searches the sky unravelling the secrets of our lives on earth and the mysteries of the stars. "Silent Sky" explores a woman's place during a time of immense scientific discovery, when women's ideas were dismissed until men claimed credit for them. This delightful play explores how social progress, like scientific progress, can be hard to see when one is trapped among earthly complications. Leavitt and her female peers believe in both, and their dedication changed the way we understand the heavens and Earth. Lauren Gunderson's writing is "… sheer magic … she writes economically [and] with bursts of smart, infectious humor" -- San Francisco Chronicle.
