SILENT SKY

By Lauren Gunderson Directed by Tracey Okeby Lucan

By Arrangement with Dramatists Play Service

 

April 25th- May 17th

 

Henrietta Leavitt began working at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s among “the computers”, an all female group tasked with charting the stars for a renowned astronomer. 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. An ode to working women and a memoir of a brilliant mind, this true story about the life of the woman who discovered how to measure the distance between stars will leave you wondering about the distance we’ve come in 100 years.

 What an amazing portrayal of the real life of such an important lady in the scheme of things in the the sky. The entire cast performed admirably, which it seems has become the norm at Theatre on Chester Street. The back end team provided wonderful support and are also to be congratulated. Us subscribers are indeed spoilt rotten and we thank each and every one of you.

 there did not seem to be either the ceiling fans, or the aircon running, hence the atmosphere was a little stuffy, and with Covid/flu etc still around, we need the air changed often. Performers were excellent

How did you like the event?

 A wordy play with little physical action following a heavy lunch inclined to drowsiness but the second act seemed more lively. The characters were well represented and the acting good as is usually the case at Chesty. Singing from the sister seemed a little tentative but well worked into the scene changes. The set worked well. The back drop was excellent and the stars worked well.

 Six of us really enjoyed Silent Sky.Great acting and directing as usual and laugh out loud funny at times. K It has became a regular family event to attend Theatre on Chester each year. Lovely community spirit and generous tea and biscuits during intermission.

 The production was excellent and acting was solid. The staff on front desk were extremely helpful. Midnight Sky had an interesting story to tell so the play was both enjoyable and informative

 Cleverly staged...a uniformly riveting performance from the cast, with the professionalism your audience has come to expect of all Chester Street's productions (when I get used to calling it The Theatre on Chester, I'll let you know). No surprises that we think stories like that should be told. My heartfelt appreciation goes to everyone, the cast and crew, behind the scenes who tirelessly bring these plays to us year in and year out.
