Theatrical Production: "Insignificant" by Sean Michael Welch

M&M Performing Arts Company, in a co-production with Red Monkey Theater Group, presents "Insignificant," a play by Sean Michael Welch and directed by Rachel Tamarin.

At Harvard University in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Cecilia Payne, Annie Jump Cannon, and a group of women known as the “Harvard Computers” overcame prejudice, denigration, and opposition to change the course of modern astronomy. They developed revolutionary systems to chart and measure stars that remain in use today. You will not want to miss this theatrical production that charts their battles for recognition, respect, and equality.
