These Shining Lives is a historical drama written by Melanie Marnich, based on the true story of four women who worked for the Radium Dial Company in Ottawa, Illinois in the 1920s. The play follows Catherine Donohue, performed by Kristine Padilla, and her coworkers as they form friendships and find independence while unknowingly suffering from deadly radiation poisoning. The story chronicles their fight for justice against the company, a landmark case with lasting impacts on workers' rights and women's rights. The cast also includes Clair Row, Kelly Hughes, Sarah Kesselring, Bailey Hunt, Michael Weppler, and Castalia Mayerhofer, under the direction of Daniel Anaya.
