"...The World Premiere of Singularities or the Computers of Venus, written and directed by Laura Stribling, runs through Sunday, June 2 at The Road Theatre in North Hollywood. Set in three different time periods from 1789 through the present, it examines the lives of women astronomers as they grapple with light, love, and the infinite while attempting to make a name for themselves in the male-dominated world of scientific research."

"...Clearly, as writer and director, Stribling has a special understanding of her characters over the millennia. The cast does an excellent job of portraying the women, often conflicted but always keeping an eye on the ultimate goal. Brian Graves’ set design keeps the otherworldly quality of the tale in focus, ably assisted by Ben Rock’s projection designs of the heavens, David B. Marling’s sound, and Derrick McDaniel’s lighting. And let’s not forget about Jenna Bergstraesser’s costumes."

"...There’s no mystery why Singularities, now at the Road Theatre in North Hollywood, is subtitled “the Computers of Venus.” The women astronomers in Laura Stribling’s complex and fascinating world premiere are human calculators — scientific visionaries who devote their lives to mapping the stars. Dedicated to their exacting mission, they are very much representatives of the female-centric planet Venus,"

"...Her cast is quite superb, uniformly believable in their committed and heartfelt effort to create characters striving to uncover the mysteries of the solar system as they fight the need to find love that reaches beyond what the societies of their various timeframes find appropriate."
