The Rocket Men at Alabama Shakespeare Festival

A new twist on the true story of the immigrant scientists who took us to the Moon and established Huntsville, AL, as "Rocket City" Six women play the roles of the former Nazi scientists who switched allegiances, moved to Huntsville, and became the backbone of NASA’s space program. As Wernher von Braun and his team develop rockets that defy gravity, a young, Jewish engineer forces them to grapple with the gravity of their pasts. This inventive new work unravels buried truths behind the origin of the space race.
