This play tells the true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt, as it explores a woman’s place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries when women’s discoveries were usually discounted in favor of giving credit to their male counterparts. In this poignant tale of a woman’s dedication to the stars, the “ahead of her time” Leavitt ultimately makes a scientific discovery that has a profound and lasting impact on the field of astronomy.
