Long after returning from Neverland, Wendy decides that she must find Peter in order to reclaim her kiss and move on with her life. Along the way, she meets other girls who went to Neverland and learns she is not alone. A coming-of-age exploration of first love and lasting loss, Lost Girl continues the story of J.M. Barrie’s beloved character – the girl who had to grow up.
“Kimberly Belflower’s script is the true star of the show. Her language is engaging and direct, and sparkles with wit and magic that keeps seamlessly in tune with the Peter Pan mythos while invoking reminiscences of young love and great loss.” - Austin Chronicle
“Lost Girl” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com

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. Social progress, like scientific progress, can be hard to see when one is trapped among earthly complications; Henrietta Leavitt and her female peers believe in both, and their dedication changed the way we understand both the heavens and Earth.
SILENT SKY is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. (www.dramatists.com)

WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU FOR A SHOW: Nothing! After you have confirmed your tickets, your name will be on our list and we will check you in at the door. Some shows will have the option to bring a printed or digital ticket along. This is not necessary, but can help with entry at the doors when it is crowded. If you are bringing a party of more than 3 people, it is faster to just provide your name at the door. Scanning individual tickets for smaller parties is a great way to gain entry, but is not necessary as long as you can provide the name of the person the tickets were reserved under. Please arrive at least 15 minutes early. All shows are general admission and the doors open 30 minutes prior to the showtime.
