These Shining Lives

by Melanie Marnich

February 6 - 21, 2026

A powerful story of the women who worked for the Radium Dial Company in the 1920s-30s. As they paint watch dials with glowing radium, believing they have found independence and purpose, they unknowingly face deadly consequences. Based on true events, and with poetic storytelling and profound emotion, These Shining Lives is a moving tribute to resilience, friendship, and the fight for justice.
