Written by Lauren Gunderson and directed by Sam Martinez, is the startling and beautiful story of a brilliant, history making woman previously unknown to many of us.
When astronomer Henrietta Leavitt begins work at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900's, she isn't allowed to touch a telescope or even express an original idea.
But slowly, through her work with a group of women "computers" who chart stars for a renowned astronomer, Henrietta works to make groundbreaking discoveries that forever change the way we view the stars and the universe.
Performances run from Feb. 24 - March 11
Fridays & Saturdays at 8 pm; Sunday matinees (Feb. 26 and March 5) at 3 pm

Founded in 1957 and now in its 69th season, Theatre Southwest (TSW) has consistently maintained a reputation for offering exciting, relevant theatre. Plays by the most interesting playwrights, presented by accomplished casts and directors, set the standard at TSW. As one of Houston's premier smaller venues, TSW has successfully proven over the years that an enjoyable night at the theatre can be richly rewarding and inexpensive. Comedy, drama, classics, and original plays are all part of TSW's heritage, and each season brings new and enthralling productions, offering live theatre at its best. Recently revitalized by a move to a beautiful new home (3939 Hillcroft, Suite 160, at the intersection of Hillcroft and Westpark), TSW will continue to offer bold, thought-provoking work to Houston audiences for years to come.
