This year, due to COVID-19 restrictions, the George Fox University Theatre Program has transformed five music practice rooms into five separate, individual, virtual theatre studios in order to bring live performance into your living rooms.
The five separate rooms feature individual mics, cameras, lighting units, projectors, projection screens, costume racks, and props tables. Actors will interact with each other virtually from their separate studios to bring a seamless performance of Silent Sky to life. This is an event you won’t want to miss. So cozy up with your laptops and various devices and join us for a delightful evening of live, virtual theatre this November!
Synopsis: When Henrietta Leavitt 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.
As Henrietta, in her free time, attempts to measure the light and distance of stars, she must also take a measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance her dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love. The true story of 19 th-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.
