This spring's student mainstage production at Wellesley College was to have been Lauren Gunderson's "Silent Sky," about the real life women who mapped the stars (focusing on Henrietta Leavitt, but also featuring Wellesley College's own alumna Annie Jump Cannon).
"Part of our sadness," noted director Marta Rainer, "is that we were learning so much about astronomy in the process of rehearsing, including interactions with the Whitin Observatory on Wellesley's campus."
