In The Rocket Men, six women step into the roles of former Nazi scientists who became the backbone of the NASA team that sent America to the moon. These men fled Germany after World War II, remaking their lives in the American South and trading one allegiance for another—building the machinery of the space race while carrying the weight of their past.
Told with theatrical invention and gripping urgency, Crystal Skillman’s new play confronts the uneasy bargain between ambition and accountability. Moving between past and present, it unravels the buried truths behind a celebrated chapter of U.S. history and forces us to reckon with the costs of progress.
A National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere, The Rocket Men launches a conversation about power, complicity, and the stories we choose to celebrate.
