Special STEM Event Featuring Local Playwright Stephanie Leary

The Sixth Act is excited to announce its upcoming event Commanding Space on Friday, March 20, at 12 PM, in the Black Box Theater.

Commanding Space: The Rise of Annie Easley and the Centaur Rocket tells the story of Annie Easley's early years at NASA as a human computer during the Space Race and the Civil Rights Movement. Join us for a reading of this compelling, lyrical play, featuring student actor Nye'Asia Simmons. The reading will be followed by a conversation with the playwright, Stephanie Leary, who was born and raised in Rochester, New York, and David Jacome from MCC's Engineering Science and Physics Department. All are invited for this dramatic exploration of outer space, poetry, family dynamics, and equity in STEM.

Please contact Maria Brandt at mbrandt@monroecc.edu for more information.
