The Space Between Stars is written and performed by Christine Lesiak along with Sarah Emslie and Sahl Wilkie. It is directed by Tracy Carroll with production design by Daniela Masellis, projection design by T. Erin Gruber and Rebecca Cypher, sound design by Aaron Macri, stage management by Nancy Yuen and lobby installation design by Ian Walker.
