LA VOICES: To The Stars

What if you could bend time, reach for the stars, and become whatever you dreamed?

Set in Los Angeles in 1983, To the Stars follows 15-year-old Fernanda Vela, a girl with a passion for science and a dream of becoming an astronaut. As she struggles to find her place in a world that tells her what girls “should” study and who they “should” become, Fernanda encounters three remarkable women from the world of space exploration and STEM: astronauts Sally Ride and Mae Jemison and aerospace engineer Judith Love Cohen.

Through a magical journey across time, Fernanda discovers the courage, curiosity, and determination of women who dared to challenge expectations and learns that sometimes the biggest barrier to reaching the stars is believing you belong there.

Featuring an uplifting score and a celebration of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM), To the Stars is an inspiring hour long operetta about dreaming boldly, breaking barriers, and seeing a future where everyone has a place among the stars.
