Carpenter Square Theatre Presents Lauren Gunderson’s Luminous Play, Silent Sky

Oklahoma City, OK – Carpenter Square Theatre proudly presents Silent Sky, a moving and thought-provoking play by Lauren Gunderson, running February 28 – March 16 at 1009 W Reno, Oklahoma City.

Hailed as “sheer magic” by the San Francisco Chronicle and “heavenly” by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Silent Sky tells the true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt, whose groundbreaking work changed the way we understand the universe—despite the societal barriers placed upon women in science.

As Henrietta begins her work at the Harvard Observatory, she joins a group of women “computers,” charting the stars for a male astronomer who dismisses their theories. Balancing her passion for discovery with family obligations and the possibility of love, Henrietta’s journey shines a light on the struggles and triumphs of women whose contributions were overlooked—until now.

“Silent Sky is a startling, entertaining true story of a brilliant, history-making woman—hitherto unknown to many of us.” — Atlanta In Town
“A simple reminder of what a pleasant, thought-provoking evening at the theater ought to look like.” — Arts ATL
