Silent Sky
Lyric Arts Main Street Stage
420 East Main Street Anoka
Silent Sky is the true story of how a group of extraordinary women banded together to find a way to measure the universe while overcoming adversity. Set in the early 1900s, Silent Sky follows Henrietta Leavitt, an aspiring scientist who joins the Harvard Observatory's all-female "human computer" team. Once there, however, she finds the women are kept behind the scenes and told to keep their ideas and theories to themselves. As Henrietta navigates these impossible waters, she tries to keep her personal life and family obligations in focus. This powerful production from Lyric Arts examines a woman's place in professional society during a time of both historic discovery and endless oppression.

Silent Sky Reviews
| Talkin Broadway - Highly Recommended
"...Lauren Gunderson is becoming a frequent presence on our stages. She was represented last September by Twenty Percent Theatre's production of the political farce The Taming and will show up again at year's end when Jungle Theater mounts Miss Bennet, a play that places Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice Bennet sisters in a Christmas story. Silent Sky is a well-wrought example of Gunderson's work. It offers a fascinating look at intersecting breakthroughs in scientific thought and women's freedoms in a staging that brings out the best qualities of the play. It was my first visit to Lyric Arts Main Street Stage in downtown Anoka. The caliber of this work impressed me to plan return visits to see future offerings."
