By Bertolt Brecht
Directed by Andrew Behling
Galileo Galilei hears of a new invention — the telescope — and builds one for himself. In doing so, he uncovers evidence for our actual place in the universe and sparks a dangerous dispute with the supposedly indisputable powers that be. Brecht’s parable explores the battle between belief and reason and how the pursuit of truth, when passed down through generations, can win out over even the greatest of foes.

- Thursday to Saturday, Nov. 11 to 13, at 8:00 p.m.
