Tonight I joined Bob in attending the first play of SPARC Theater’s summer season, a play by Lauren Gunderson about a woman astronomer, Silent Sky. It told the story of a woman who worked in Harvard’s astronomy department at the beginning of the 20th century, and her difficuly as a woman getting to do the things she was interested in pursuing. It was an interesting story and the small cast did a good job in acting the play.
It was a cool, breezy night, and I was glad I dressed in layers. Bob had to get some extra blankets at the intermission. The production, at the Darcy Kent vineyards, is a beautiful location with beautiful scenery in the background. It was an enjoyable evening, and a nice way to start my summer theater experience.
