For folks who appreciated either reading or viewing Hidden Figures and are interested in women in science history, you should keep an eye open for the play: The Women who Mapped the Stars. It's about the investigation of the cepheid variables which basically led to creating a yardstick for stellar distances.
(There's also a couple plays about one of the women in particular, Henrietta Swan Leavitt, although those are probably harder to come by.)
Added: Another very good play in this vein is Photograph 51 (centered on Rosalind Franklin).
