The true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt, Silent Sky explores a woman's place in society during a time of immense scientific and heart-bound discoveries.

Produced by United Players in April of 2021 during the height of the pandemic the entire production was rehearsed and staged with social distancing maintained, then for one night only, the show was performed (without a live audience) and filmed for distribution online.

“Under Laura McLean’s direction, the acting in this UP production sparkles… This is the most successful United Players production in a long time.”
