Audition for "Silent Sky"

Silent Sky is a poignant and inspiring play that tells the true story of Henrietta Leavitt, a pioneering astronomer in the early 20th century. Working at the Harvard Observatory, Leavitt defied societal expectations and gender norms to uncover groundbreaking discoveries about the nature of the universe. As she battles personal challenges, including a struggle for recognition in a male-dominated field, Silent Sky explores themes of ambition, resilience, and the search for meaning in the vast cosmos.

What to prepare: Actors may perform a prepared comedic monologue or read provided selections from the play.

Callbacks will be held on August 29, 6-9 p.m.
