"These Shining Lives" chronicles the strength and determination of women considered expendable by 'the Company,' exploring their true story and its continued resonance. Melanie Marnich has written a play that celebrates a story of survival and the spirit of women workers who fight for their legacy and the lives of workers who come after them.

Travel back to the early 20th Century when Radium was deemed a cure-all and no one knew what a horror it could be.
