SILENT SKY

Character List and Descriptions

Casting: We are committed to casting a group of actors ranging in age from 16+ that will reflect the people of our community. We are very happy to cast roles to include all ethnicities, all gender expressions, and all bodies.

Understudies: GCT would like to develop the understudy process to meet the needs of each particular show. For Silent Sky, understudies will have multiple rehearsals where they are in for the show, as well as an Understudy Performance for friends and family. There is no guarantee of additional performance time.

Theatrical Intimacy:
Theatrical intimacy is any action on stage where the given circumstances of the scene or the overall production calls for touch, both physical and imaginative, or moments between actors of simulated sexuality or violence.

GCT has been incorporating Intimacy Directors & Coordinators (IDC) to improve processes and incorporate safer practices for theatrical intimacy in our rehearsals. All scenes with physical intimacy follow a specific set of staging and rehearsal protocols rooted in consent and safety for the actors.

Some roles in Silent Sky will require some level of physical intimacy/touch as multiple characters demonstrate physical comfort/affection with one another (such as an embrace or close proximity). Characters who engage in specific moments of physical intimacy and kissing are noted in character descriptions.

• HENRIETTA LEAVITT (Actual historical figure) – brilliant, meticulous, excited, passionate about the stars and universe; Astronomer who changed how we look at and measure the stars; Hard of Hearing and uses a period hearing-aid (unless she turns it off to avoid annoying distractions) . Presenting gender: Female. Presenting age range: 30s. This role requires onstage physical intimacy/kiss.
• MARGARET LEAVITT – Henrietta’s sister, homebody, creative, sweet who sings and (ideally) plays piano. Presenting gender: Female. Presenting age range: 30s. This role requires singing “For the Beauty of the Earth.”
• ANNIE CANNON (Actual historical figure) – the leader, terse and sure of herself, a firebrand, funny and sharp-witted; the first to catalog stars by letter; joins the suffrage movement. Presenting gender: Female. Presenting age range: 40s.
• WILLIAMINA FLEMING (Actual historical figure) – smart as a whip, gutsy, fierce, fun;  first to hold the title of “curator” in astronomy; Scottish (yes to Scottish dialect). Presenting gender: Female. Presenting age range: 50s.
• PETER SHAW – smart, sweet, awkward; the head astronomer’s apprentice and supervisor of the women at the observatory…and the man. Presenting gender: Male. Presenting age range: 30s/40s. This role requires onstage physical intimacy/kiss.
