Lavender Dust explores the intersection of science and personal conviction as an astrophysicist confronts the controversial legacy of the James Webb Space Telescope's namesake amid an internal conflict at NASA. As he seeks the truth behind the Lavender Scare, the stakes rise, challenging his dedication to uncovering a hidden past. Written by Jayne Deely, this new play delves into the complexities of scientific integrity and the challenges faced by those who strive for transparency.
