The following roles are available:
HENRIETTA LEAVITT: (Female presenting) 30s. Actual historical figure. A woman who is brilliant, meticulous, excited and passionate about the stars and universe. An astronomer who changed how we look at and measure the stars. She is hard of hearing and uses a period hearing-aid (unless she turns it off to avoid annoying distractions). Note: This role requires onstage physical intimacy/kiss.
MARGARET LEAVITT: (Female presenting) 30s. Henrietta’s sister. She is a homebody who is creative and sweet. She also sings and (ideally) plays piano. Note: This role requires singing “For the Beauty of the Earth.”
ANNIE CANNON: (Female presenting) 40s. Actual historical figure. She is the leader who is terse and sure of herself. A firebrand, funny and sharp-witted woman. She is the first to catalog stars by letter and joins the suffrage movement.
WILLIAMINA FLEMING: (Female presenting) 50s. Actual historical figure. She is smart as a whip who is gutsy, fierce and fun. She is the first to hold the title of “curator” in astronomy. This character is also Scottish (Scottish dialect a must).
PETER SHAW: (Male presenting) 30s/40s. He is a smart, sweet and awkward man. He is the head astronomer’s apprentice and supervisor of the women at the observatory. Note: This role requires onstage physical intimacy/kiss.
