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
