August 11-13
VIP Performance: August 10
Southern Plains Productions presents Lauren Gunderson's Silent Sky at Science Museum Oklahoma. Get ready to experience the Kirkpatrick Planetarium in a brand new way!
Silent Sky tells the story of Henrietta Leavitt, who at the turn of the 20th century worked in the Harvard University Observatory as a human “computer,” helping map the stars but receiving no credit. Despite the restrictive gender norms of her time and challenges associated with hearing loss, Leavitt discovered a means of measuring distance on an intergalactic scale, which changed our perspective of the universe.A VIP performance will be held on August 10 with all proceeds directly benefitting the museum. Guests attending this VIP showing will be greeted with a complimentary glass of champagne, perfectly complemented by a tempting popcorn bar. A limited number of tickets for this performance are available for $35. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. with doors opening at 7 p.m. A cash bar will also be available.
There will be three general showings of Silent Sky, August 11-13. Tickets for those shows are $25.
