Bethany Sees the Stars

Directed by Kathryn Stewart
Written by Emily Golden

August 24 – September 9, 2023 at West of Lenin

15-year-old Bethany spends her days in an eternal funk. But when a letter arrives inviting her to be a crew member on the first manned mission to Mars, she has an opportunity to leave it all behind. With her journey fast approaching, Bethany must turn to the all-knowing constellations for the answer to an impossible choice. Funny and tender, Bethany Sees the Stars is a cosmic meditation on hope, loss, and the ability of relationships to hurt us or heal us in our most vulnerable seasons of life.
