Silent Sky at Muskegon Civic Theatre
Muskegon Civic Theatre staged Silent Sky from January 10 to 18 at the Frauenthal Theater in Muskegon. The play tells the story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt, who navigated her passion for science alongside family duties and societal limits.
Set in the early 1900s, Henrietta Leavitt works at the Harvard Observatory but is barred from using telescopes or sharing her original ideas. As part of a group of female "computers," she charts stars for a renowned astronomer who measures their work in "girl hours," dismissing their groundbreaking theories. Performed in an intimate black box theater, this play follows Henrietta's personal journey to measure star light and distance while balancing science, family, and the possibility of love. Muskegon Civic Theatre is known for vibrant, community-driven productions and educational programs across West Michigan.
