“Silent Sky” by Pull-Tight Players

Henrietta Leavitt works at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s, where she isn’t allowed to touch a telescope or express an original idea. She is part of a group of women “computers,” charting the stars for a renowned astronomer who has no time for the women’s probing theories. A true story, Silent Sky 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. This show runs March 28 – 30, April 2 – 6 and April 9 – 12 at the Pull-Tight Theatre (112 2nd Ave. S, Franklin). Performances are on Wednesdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Cost is $18 – $22.
