But Henri has never let anything get in the way of her passion for astronomy - certainly not silly things like conventions, family obligations, or love. From the brilliant mind of playwright Lauren Gunderson (The Revolutionists; Christmas at Pemberly) comes the unforgettable true story of Henrietta Leavitt.

The last time there was a lunar eclipse, George and Em were fresh out of high school, unmarried, with life's possibilities stretching out before them as they watched the night sky.

Set in turn-of-the-century Missouri, “Meet Me in St. Louis” is a nostalgic musical that follows the well-to-do Smith family over the course of a year as they eagerly anticipate the 1904 World’s Fair. The story is told through seasonal vignettes, centering on the romantic pursuits of the teenage Esther Smith who falls for the boy next door, and the mischievous antics of her youngest sister, Tootie. Their idyllic life is suddenly threatened when their father announces a job promotion that requires the family to relocate to New York City, leading to emotional upheaval as the children face leaving their beloved home.
