These Shining Lives by Melanie Marnich and directed by Cindy Gendrich.

In the 1920s and 30s, "girls who wanted to work" could get good-paying jobs painting the radium dials on watch- and clock-faces. Part fairy-tale, part tragedy, These Shining Lives chronicles the stories of these "radium girls," and their life-changing friendships.

A luminous play about curiosity, greed, heroism, health, time, money, and hope. All performances will be in the Mainstage Theatre of the Scales Fine Arts Center.
