Silent Sky

Theatre Baton Rouge presents a tribute to Henrietta Leavitt, whose contributions to the study of astronomy forever altered the way we understand the heavens and Earth. Set in the early twentieth century, Henrietta's story is inevitably a story of women's intellectual repression and dismissal. Silent Sky acts as an ode to female accomplishment in science, and a a tale of dedication, female camaraderie, and progress during a time bent on stifling it. Presented on the Main Stage, performances will run Thursday—Saturday at 7:30 pm, Sunday matinees at 2 pm, with an additional matinee on January 26. Tickets are $25; $19 for students.
