Photos: First Look at SILENT SKY at Tacoma Little Theatre

Tacoma Little Theatre will welcome Silent Sky to its stage after having been postponed earlier in the season. Silent Sky is written by Lauren Gunderson and directed by pug Bujeaud.

This true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt explores a woman's place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries, when women's ideas were dismissed until men claimed credit for them. Social progress, like scientific progress, can be hard to see when one is trapped among earthly complications; Henrietta and her female peers believe in both, and their dedication changed the way we understand both the heavens and Earth.

Tacoma Little Theatre's production of Silent Sky features Jessica Robins as Henrietta Leavitt, Jillian Faulk as Margaret Leavitt, Mason Quinn as Peter Shaw, Rachel Permann as Annie Cannon, and Deya Ozburn as Williamina Fleming.

Silent Sky will run Friday, July 8, through Sunday, July 24, 2022. Friday and Saturday showings are at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2:00pm. Silent Sky is recommended for ages 12 and up.
