‘Silent Sky’ set for Daggy run

“Silent Sky,” a play telling the story of the Harvard Observatory “computers,” a group of women who crunched massive amounts of astronomical data at the turn of the 20th century, will open Friday, March 30, at Washington State University.

Written by Lauren Gunderson and directed by Mary Trotter, the six performances will be March 30-31 and April 6-7 in Daggy Hall’s Jones Theatre, with nightly performances at 7:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. matinees on Saturdays. The last three performances coincide with Mom’s Weekend at WSU.

The play focuses on real-life astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt, played by Avery Barnwell. Leavitt’s discovery of the period-luminosity relationship of certain stars offered a breakthrough in man’s ability to gauge distances through space, and ultimately the size of the observable universe.

Reserved seating for most shows costs $10 adults, $8 seniors (ages 60 and older), and $8 for all students and youth. A discounted rate of $6 per person is available to groups of eight or more.

Admission to the March 31 matinee will be free, sponsored by the WSU College of Arts and Sciences. A dessert reception with Trotter and her cast and crew will follow the performance.

Tickets are on sale now at all TicketsWest outlets, including online at TicketsWest.com, by phone at 800-325-SEAT, and in person at WSU’s Beasley Coliseum ticket office and Rosauers in Lewiston .
