Silent Sky
By Lauren Gunderson
Fri Nov 30 2018 - Sat Dec 15 2018
The true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt 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. When she starts work at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s, Henrietta isn’t allowed to touch a telescope, or express an original idea. Instead, she joins a group of women “computers,” charting the stars for a renowned astronomer who calculates projects in “girl hours” and has no time for the women’s probing theories. As Henrietta, in her free time, attempts to measure the light and distance of stars, she must also take measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love. Presented through special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.

The Diary of Anne Frank
A Play by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett
Based upon "Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl" Newly Adapted by Wendy Kesselman Fri Mar 01 2019 - Sat Mar 16 2019
For nearly two years, Anne, her father, mother, and sister, joined with the Van Daan family, to hide in a secret annex space above her father’s former office in Amsterdam, as the Nazis deported the Jews of Holland to their deaths. In her secret attic, Anne comes of age: she laughs, plays, fights with her mother, and falls in love for the first time. In spite of her oppressive circumstances and the horrors that surround her, Anne’s spirit transcends, as she voices her belief, “in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.” Presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.
