The Women Who Discovered How to Measure the Universe

What started as a devised theatre project at Northwestern University in 2021 was realized as a full production in June, 2023 at the Raven Theatre. The show followed the real story of Annie Jump Cannon and Henrietta Swan Leavitt, two hard of hearing astronomers astronomers whose work laid the foundation for the discovery of the constant expansion of the universe.
