✨ Before women could vote, they mapped the stars...
Silent Sky is the true and awe-inspiring story of Henrietta Leavitt, a trailblazing American astronomer whose discoveries forever changed how we understand the universe — all while battling the limitations placed on women in science during the early 1900s.
Denied the tools and recognition given to her male counterparts, Henrietta joins a team of brilliant women "computers" at the Harvard Observatory. As she charts the stars in silence, she sparks a scientific revolution — and begins a deeply personal journey to balance love, family, and an unyielding passion for discovery.
💫 With stunning visuals, poetic storytelling, and a celebration of curiosity and courage, Silent Sky is an unmissable theatrical experience that’s as moving as it is illuminating.
“Luminously beautiful… an intellectual epic told on an intimate scale.”
— Atlanta Journal-Constitution
