Theatre Season Events

Silent Sky by Lauren Gunderson opens in the year 1900, introducing Henrietta Leavitt, who has just received a job offer from Harvard Observatory. Excited about the opportunity, she hopes to answer profound questions about existence: “Who are we, why are we, where are we?” However, upon starting her work, she discovers that she is relegated to the role of a "human computer," logging data for her male colleagues without the chance to use the telescope or receive credit for her findings.

 Through Henrietta’s journey, the audience witnesses the intersection of science and art, as her passion for astronomy is often inspired by music and poetry.  The play serves as a tribute to the women who contributed to science and the arts, often without acknowledgment, and underscores the importance of their contributions to our understanding of the cosmos.

Information about Silent Sky program will be available in March.

 In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920s draw to a close, a garish Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all their troubles at the Cabaret. With the Emcee’s bawdy songs as wry commentary, Cabaret explores the dark, heady and tumultuous life of Berlin’s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. Cliff, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, is immediately taken with English singer Sally Bowles. Meanwhile, Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff and Sally’s boarding house, tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish. Musical numbers include “Willkommen,” “Cabaret,” “Don't Tell Mama", and “Two Ladies.”  

Program will be available in April
