Weep, O mine eyes by John Bennett

Alone, now together.

Broken, now whole.

We are Fire. we are ashes.

We are Phoenix.'

The Half-Life of Marie Curie

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

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.

Silent Sky

By Lauren Gunderson

Directed by Val Sheppard

Cast: Regi Johanos, Carolyn Norton, Curtis Jackson, Deb Rowzee, Jenna Gerrety

7:00 PM, Saturday, March 8, 2025 at the Susan B. English School

Donations gratefully accepted at the door

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.

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.

"THE HALF-LIFE OF MARIE CURIE is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing. LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. (www.dramatists.com)"

Auditions: Silent Sky
Dec
11

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!

New Plays Aloud: Business Ideas

New Plays Aloud

A reading group for actors and playwrights
Facilitated by Kate Rich

Saturday, November 30, 6pm at Grace Ridge Brewery
870 Smoky Bay Wy. in Homer


This Month:
"Business Ideas" by Milo Cramer

"In a too-cute café, a desperate mother and daughter brainstorm get-rich-quick schemes to pay for college, while their hapless server tries to network with a revolving cast of customers (hilariously played by one actor). Inspired by playwright Milo Cramer’s own experiences with his enterprising mom, Business Ideas is an award-winning comedy about getting rich (or not?), and whether money really buys happiness – one cup of coffee at a time."

New Plays Aloud is free and open to the public
