Starry Messenger

The true power of this magical production is its uncanny ability to inspire the “Galileo” in all of us!

The story begins with Galileo as a young boy, inspired and awed by the heavens and it follows his incredible and visionary life to old age. Starry Messenger uses historical fact as a stepping stone to imagination, creating a fable that allows us to actually enter the mind of one of the world’s greatest scientists and give audiences unique access to the curious man who challenged society to view the world and the heavens in new ways.
