Notions of science, faith, demons, madness and self-sacrifice are raised and overturned. As Cardinals Borgia and Zacchia negotiate with Galileo over his recantation, we are also afforded a look at the process of reconciling new science with the power structure, a struggle that continues even today.  Join us on opening night, February 15 for Galileo Galilei’s 454^th birthday!  Saturday performance includes an audience TalkBack with the actors and director with a light reception to follow.  Catering by Pern’s Restaurant. *Pictures taken at the Dress Rehearsal 12 February
