The Snowy Mountain Sisters @ Barnstormers Theatre
The Snowy Mountain Sisters are thrilled to return to the Barnstormers Theatre for the second time!
This all-female bluegrass and folk music collective formed in 2015 in order to create more opportunities for women in music to collaborate, perform and shine in a creative, professional setting. Over the years, the Snowy Mountain Sisters have collaborated on numerous recording projects, hosted songwriting workshops for kids, and played from coast to coast.
For this performance, the Snowies will feature Megan Loomis and Jo Brook. They will be joined by Morgan Morse. Please join us for an evening of your favorite bluegrass and country hits, as well as some off-the-beaten-path tunes, trad fiddling, and Snowy originals.

Oneida
The Oneida Community was front-page news for their revolutionary practices – they coined the expression “free love,” back in the 1800’s - but today, the only thing most people know about them is the silverware they made. As “Bible Communists,” they believed we shouldn’t own things or people – and should avoid falling in love and the possessiveness that goes with it. But when the community finally becomes prosperous, they undertake a radical new program. And everything changes.

Silent Sky
I am thrilled to be playing the role of Henrietta in Silent Sky by Lauren Gunderson, one of my favorite plays and playwrights.
When Herietta 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 calculates projects in “girl hours” and has no time for the women’s probing theories. As Henrietta, in her free time, 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.
