This 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 and her female peers believe in both, and their dedication changed the way we understand both the heavens and Earth.
Auditioners are asked to prepare a 90-second contemporary monologue that showcases your talent.
All roles are available: HENRIETTA LEAVITT (F, 30-39): Brilliant, determined, a dreamer, hard of hearing (wears a period hearing aid), has never much cared for the “status quo.”; MARGARET LEAVITT (F, 25 – 35): A homebody, genuine, sweet-natured, realist. (Ability to sing and play the piano a plus.); PETER SHAW (M, 30 – 39): The head astronomer’s apprentice, reserved, his views have never really been challenged prior to the events of the play. He is in love with Henrietta, as she is with he; ANNIE CANNON (F, 40 – 49): A leader, tough, sure, grows into a firebrand for the suffrage movement; WILLIAMINA FLEMING (F, 45 – 59): Scottish, intelligent, witty, warm and outgoing, the first of her kind, smart as a whip and fun. (Role requires a Scottish Accent) Ages given are playable ages, actors need not specifically fit the given age to audition. Tacoma Little Theatre practices color-conscious casting and encourages everyone to attend.
