America Stage Theatre: SILENT SKY
When: Now – Dec. 22, 2019
Where: 163 3rd St N
St. Petersburg, FL 33701
Info: 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.

Social progress, like scientific progress, can be hard to see when one is trapped among earthly complications in this luminous, witty and inspiring true story of a brilliant, history-making woman.
By Lauren Gunderson, America's most popular modern playwright, this performance is a can't miss. Coming to American Stage on select night from November 20 – December 22. Purchase tickets online today.
