It is argued that when Henrik Ibsen had his character, Nora, slam the door on a conventional marriage she opened the door to modern drama. With a hard focus on marriage, societal norms, and long-held secrets, A Doll's House speaks to all audiences, whether in 1879 or 2019. This compelling drama continues to be one of the most produced modern dramas of all time.

This fascinating play is based on the true story of Henrietta Leavitt, who worked at Harvard Observatory as one of the female “computers” who mapped and measured the stars. Even with little recognition, she had a profound influence on the field of astronomy. Join us for this funny, radiant, and joyful ride through the dream world of Leavitt as she changed our perception of the cosmos forever. Highly accessible as well as “mind-expanding and heart expanding” theatre.
