A celestial romance and true story of discovery, this riveting new play explores the life and career of Henrietta Swan Leavitt (1868-1921) as she fearlessly asserts herself in the male-dominated world of early astronomy. Hired by the Harvard Observatory as a human "computer" to catalog the stars, Henrietta's story plays out against a landscape of early feminism and universe-revealing science, reminding us all what we can achieve when we allow curiosity and wonder into our lives. "Luminously beautiful… an intellectual epic told on an intimate scale. Bottom line: Heavenly." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

"...Cannon is marvelous as the uber-enthusiastic, dedicated scientist. Her diction is impeccable and she shows us a life that's exciting but ultimately sad, without being maudlin. Parsons adds humor to the serious proceedings and Stevens is fun to watch as she embraces the cause of the Suffragettes. Williams is touching as Henrietta's talented sister, Margaret. But the most amusing personage on stage has to be Wentz, especially in the first act, as the ardent but ultra shy suitor of our heroine."
