The Sky’s the Limit
Look up and be amazed at the stars above you. Enjoy Silent Sky in the Parish Theatre from November 6-15, 2026.
The true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt explores a woman’s place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries, when women’s ideas were dismissed until men claimed credit for them. When Henrietta Leavitt begins work at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s, she isn’t allowed to touch a telescope or express an original idea. Instead, she joins a group of women “computers,” charting the stars for a renowned astronomer who has no time for the women’s probing theories. In her free time, as Henrietta attempts to measure the light and distance of stars, she must also take measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance her dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love.

The Road to Baghdad: A Firsthand Account
Sunday, November 15, 2026 | 1–2 p.m.

Retired Lieutenant Colonel Rock Marcone shares his firsthand account of leading Task Force 3-69 Armor during the opening days of Operation Iraqi Freedom. From crossing the border from Kuwait in March 2003 through the advance into Baghdad, Marcone offers a commander’s perspective on the soldiers, decisions and experiences behind one of the defining military campaigns of the early 21st century.

A West Point graduate and decorated U.S. Army veteran, Marcone commanded Task Force 3-69 Armor during the 2003 invasion of Iraq and later served as a senior brigade trainer at the National Training Center. His military decorations include the Silver Star, Purple Heart and Bronze Star.
