They Promised Her The Moon

The first American woman to test for space flight, Jerrie Cobb steps into an isolation tank for a record-breaking nine hours as her memories unfold before her, from learning to fly a plane as a child in Oklahoma, to testifying in Congressional hearings about the under-the-radar, all-female Mercury 13 space program. Based on a true story, They Promised Her The Moon is a compelling drama about the challenges of sisterhood and fighting for the greater good. Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 pm; Sundays at 2 pm; Saturday March 29 at both 2 pm and 7:30 pm. $15–$20. bontempstix.com.
