Silent Sky, running until Apr. 30, has one of the best all around cast performances I have seen at BETC (and many other theaters) and the playwright truly created a masterful work. SS is sensitive, funny (!), educational, romantic, well-paced, engaging, all while being a great play for a local theater with small cast. We see the difficult careers of early women in science, fraught but supportive family bonds, awkward and troubled love, and the hard-won advances of astronomy before the age of computers. All beautifully woven together and lovingly, expertly presented. Bravo BETC! Truly exceptional.
