REP stages the story of the Woman who mapped the stars

Repertory Philippines, or REP, takes a figure out of the shadows of history and brings her story to the spotlight in the science bio-drama Silent Sky. Directed by REP Artistic Director Joy Virata, Silent Sky runs from March 2 to 25 at the OnStage Theater in Greenbelt 1, Makati City.

 Playwright Lauren Gunderson’s Silent Sky is based on the true story of early 20th century astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt who, together with a group of female scientists, was working as a “computer” (data entry clerk) at Harvard Observatory College. Despite women being forbidden from using the observatory’s telescope, this brilliant but unsung pioneer made astonishing discoveries as she mapped the distance between the stars, the earth, and other galaxies.

As a result, Leavitt paved the way for more known astronomers like Edwin Hubble (the man said to have discovered the cosmos) to succeed in their own research.REP Silent Sky - Naths Everette 2 REP Silent Sky - Shiela Francisco

Silent Sky is a story that harmonizes science, history, family, love, and the passion of a young woman who forged her own path through a society bent on keeping a woman in her place.

Surprise!  Happy 18th bday Javs #chefjavs

He had to go to the tennis courts to train on his bday so i thought he would be happy to celebrate with his friends there – the ballboys & the trainers who he loves.   We made it a surprise as they all gathered to greet him with a cake.

 When he woke up he asked me for money and he went to @rustansfresh to buy ingredients and he cooked spaghetti for the staff at home and my mom’s staff. He went there to his lola’s house personally to give them the spaghetti. My heart melted when i saw him do this – my son who is always so thoughtful and caring to these people who we sometimes take for granted. And he has always been like this even when he was a kid – very generous and kind to them thats why they are his friends. He turns 18 today and I don’t worry about him because I know he has a big heart and that’s what is important to me  #h2hcelebrations Stolen photos from the maids haha!! He does not like me to take his photochef javs bday spaghettijavs bday spaghetti
