"Silent Sky"

Silent Sky

Lauren Gunderson

City Lights Theater Company

Maria Giere Marquis

Maria Giere Marquis’s stunning portrayal of astronomy pioneer Henrietta Leavitt is nothing short of award-worthy.  From the moment we meet her, there is no doubt that Henrietta is fiercely independent, absolutely headstrong, and undeniably focused on discovering something big about the limitless sky on which she so fondly wants to gaze from her backyard in 1900.   City Lights Theatre Company’s production of Lauren Gunderson's Silent Sky is so beautifully compelling and ultimately moving that even if someone walks in with no interest in astronomy, that person will for sure walk out and at least looking skyward.
