Student Tribune
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.
