SILENT SKYJanuary 22, 23, 29, 30 at 7:30 pm January 24, 31 at 2:00 pmBy Lauren Gunderson Directed by Kennedy KemmererThis is the true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt. When Henrietta begins work at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s, she 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. In her free time, as Henrietta attempts to measure the light and distance of stars, she must also take measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance her dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love.Performed by Special Arrangement with Concord TheatricalsLocation: Concordia University Irvine Studio TheatreParking and Walking: Please park in the main lot (parking is free), then walk down the hill to the Studio Theatre.Tickets:General Admission: $15.00Seniors and Students (non CUI students): $12.00CUI Students: Free
