NANTUCKET The White Heron Theatre Company will develop a musical about pioneering 19th-century Nantucket astronomer/scientist Maria Mitchell, a show that will be the cornerstone of its 10th anniversary season in 2022 prior to a New York City production.
The workshop to create the world premiere of “Miss Mitchell” will be funded in part by a $10,000 grant announced Wednesday by the National Endowment for the Arts.
The Nantucket project was one of three grants awarded locally out of 1,100 grants nationwide, with money also funding projects for The Yard dance collective in Chilmark and Atlantic Public Media in Woods Hole.
In an announcement about the grant, Lynne Bolton, artistic director at the island-based White Heron company, expressed thanks for the federal support and said that with the planned later New York show, it is gratifying to be able to bring a piece of Nantucket to the national scene.”
