This powerful play tells the story of Henrietta Leavitt and a group of other female astronomers who worked as human “computers” at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s. Despite not being allowed to touch a telescope and discouraged from expressing any original ideas, Leavitt works diligently toward a breakthrough in measuring stars. Along the way, she struggles to make similar breakthroughs in her relationships and family life. Based on the amazing true story, this play shows how one woman can cause an entire galaxy to be looked at from a new perspective. Due to tone and length, this play is recommended for patrons age 10 and up.

One of the best-known Spanish Golden Age plays comes to the HU stage! When a small town becomes fed up with the tyranny and abuse of a brutal military commander, they decide to take matters into their own hands. When an inquisitor comes to investigate the uprising, the townspeople display a show of solidarity that gains the attention of even King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, causing them to view the responsibility of leaders from a new perspective. This production will feature Spanish-language captioning. Due to language and subject matter, this play is recommended for patrons age 14 and up. Fuente Ovejuna (Mitchell) is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
