I am sitting in the Rear Left Balcony, Row G, Seat 5. I find that the sight-lines and sound are really excellent there. Plenty of seats left near me. I will have just finished two holiday craft shows and ready to sit back and let the music just waft over me!

- Galelio's Daughter - play in Central Square, Cambridgecentral square theatre, cambridge , MA
This looks fantastic and tickets are going fast. I am sitting in one of the "cheap seats" on the side, but it is a small venue and all seats are good.
When a writer's life is turned upside down, she travels to Florence to study the letters between Galileo and his daughter Marie Celeste, who is forced to join a convent after her father's earth-shattering controversies. Captured in the letters are her strength of will and own genius as she secretly assists her father in furthering his discoveries about the shape of the universe, inspiring a path forward for the writer. Alternating between Tuscany of present day and the 1600’s - and the liminal space between playwright and audience - Jessica Dickey has crafted a play examining faith, forgiveness, and the cost of speaking the truth.
