Thanks Vet Tix and Ford's Theatre for tickets to see Silent Sky! I love this story of one of the earliest contributors to modern astronomy, Henrietta Leavitt, and how she helped to map the stars in 3D. The production was awesome and the seats were great. Thanks again so much for your support of veterans!

My wife and daughter truly enjoyed the play and the opportunity to spend the night out in DC together at Ford"˜s Theatre. The play was funny, yet informational, containing just the right amount of humor in the dialogues, paired with a little sadness. We are thankful for being able to attend this awesome play. Ford"˜s Theatre was perfect, the staff super friendly and the actors superb!

Thank you Ford's Theatre for your generous donation to local veterans. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed Silent Sky. The cast delivered a wonderful performance in telling the story of the great American female astronomer, Henrietta Leavitt. Her life was one of dedication and sacrifice and this play highlighted her accomplishments. I really appreciated the way that important astronomy accomplishments were highlighted in the midst of a witty, humorous, and moving dialog between the characters. Ford's theatre is a nice venue with lots of history and a great staff. We hope to come back for a future performance. Thanks again for providing this opportunity to military veterans.

Special thank you to Ford's Theatre for tickets to see Silent Sky. The humor, drama, touching moments, and historically significant moments of the show make it incredibly engaging and uplifting. The cast did a superb job--it was remarkable how a small cast could make it seem such a large show. As an engineer, I have always had an interest and studied science, and this show introduced me to a part of the history of astronomy that I had not known and enjoyed tremendously. I had great seats and enjoyed the theater experience in such an historic and intimate venue. Thank you again!

Thank you so much Ford's Theater for the tickets to see Silent Sky. I was grateful to be able to share my visit with two teachers who were looking for women's month ideas which made for lively conversation both before and after the show. It was a much appreciated evening out talking about women vets and scientists.

My wife and I had a wonderful time at the Silent Sky performance. It's so inspiring to see a story about Henrietta Leavitt's groundbreaking work in the astronomy field, not only as a woman in the early 1900s but also as a person living with a disability. Thank you so much to Ford's Theater for making our experience possible.
