SILENT SKY
By Lauren Gunderson

March 29-April 14, 2019
When Henrietta Leavitt begins work at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s, she isn’t allowed to touch a telescope or express an original idea. Instead, she joins a group of women “computers,” charting the stars for a renowned astronomer who calculates projects in “girl hours” and has no time for the women’s probing theories. As Henrietta, in her free time, attempts to measure the light and distance of stars, she must also take measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance her dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love. The true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt explores a woman’s place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries, when women’s ideas were dismissed until men claimed credit for them.

Auditions: Nunsense
The Bellingham Theatre Guild will be holding auditions for Nunsense on April 7 and 8 at the Guild Playhouse – 1600 H Street. This lively and wacky show features five nuns putting on a fundraiser of comedic sketches and musical numbers. We are looking for women roughly between the ages of 20 to 70 who can sing, dance, and make the audience laugh. All ethnicities and body types encouraged to audition.
Auditioners will be doing cold readings from the script. They should prepare 16-32 bars of a musical theatre song and bring the appropriate sheet music to auditions. An accompanist will be provided. They should also come prepared to dance, wear comfortable clothes, and bring tap shoes if available. Callbacks, if necessary, will be held April 9.
Please contact the director, Michelle Kriz, at mishkriz@yahoo.com with any questions.
