The Half-Life of Marie Curie
The Half-Life of Marie Curie
By Lauren Gunderson
Directed by Jennifer Norton
Cast: Christine Kulcheski, Katherine Brennan
In 1911, Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her discovery of the elements radium and polonium. By 1912, she was the object of ruthless gossip over an alleged affair with the married Frenchman Paul Langevin, all but erasing her achievements from public memory. Weakened and demoralized by the press lambasting her as a “foreign” Jewish temptress and a homewrecking traitor, Marie agrees to join her friend and colleague Hertha Ayrton, an electromechanical engineer and suffragette, at her summer home in England. THE HALF-LIFE OF MARIE CURIE revels in the power of female friendship as it explores the relationship between these two brilliant women, both of whom are mothers, widows, and fearless champions of scientific inquiry.

Silent Sky
Silent Sky
By Lauren Gunderson
Directed by Val Sheppard
Cast: Regi Johanos, Carolyn Norton, Curtis Jackson, Deb Rowzee, Jenna Gerrety
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.

Auditions: Silent Sky
Looking for something to do in February? We at Pier One Theatre, in association with Homer Council on the Arts, invite you to come and audition for a special production of "Silent Sky" by Lauren Gunderson, to be directed by Val Sheppard.
"Silent Sky" is the story of Henrietta Swan Leavitt, an early 20th century American astronomer who figured out the method for measuring distances on a universal level, leading to a profoundly clearer understanding of the size and scale of the cosmos and our relative position in it. Additionally, she did most of her work without even having access to the telescopes themselves, as women working in the Harvard astronomy department at that time weren't allowed to use them and were restricted instead to analyzing images of the stars printed on photographic plates. While Leavitt tragically died of stomach cancer in 1921 before she was able to be awarded a Nobel Prize for her efforts, her trailblazing work in the field of astronomy inspired countless others, most notably Edwin Hubble who was able to extrapolate on her findings to prove the universe is expanding.
This production will have two performances on the 14th and 15th of February at Homer Council on the Arts, with the possibility of more performances in the summer as well.
Auditions will take place on Wednesday, December 11th at 7pm at the HCOA offices at 355 W Pioneer Ave. #100 in Homer.
If you are unable to make this audition date but are still interested in participating please contact director Val Sheppard HERE.
Scripts are available at the Pier One Theatre office at 332 E Pioneer Ave. #3 above the Homer Bookstore.
Characters:
Henrietta Leavitt - 30's, brilliant, meticulous, excited.
Margaret Leavitt - 30's, homebody, creative, sweet, sister.
Peter Shaw - 30s, the head astronomer's apprentice...and the man.
Annie Cannon - 40's, the leader, terse and sure, grows into a firebrand.
Williamina Fleming - 50's, smart as a whip and fun, Scottish.
SILENT SKY is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. (www.dramatists.com)
This partnership with Homer Council on the Arts, with help from the Kachemak Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, includes a February gallery show at HCOA!
This open call invites artists to reflect and create artwork based on the prompt “Women in Science”. Whether it’s the historical impacts of women in science, modern advancements, innovative research of women or by women, what does the phrase “Women in Science” mean to you?

Fiddler on the Roof
Directed by Jennifer Norton & Mark Robinson
October 10, 11, 12, 13 & 18, 19, 20 at the Homer High School Mariner Theatre
THE STORY: Set in the little village of Anatevka, the story centers on Tevye, a poor milkman, and his five daughters. With the help of a colorful and tight-knit Jewish community, Tevye tries to protect his daughters and instill them with traditional values in the face of changing social mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia. Rich in historical and ethnic detail, Fiddler on the Roof's universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness.
FIDDLER ON THE ROOF is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
