These Shining Lives

By Melanie Marnich
Directed by Ron Peluso

regional Premiere

1928. You're 19. You're a sister, a daughter, a wife, a new mother. You're in the pink of health, in the prime of your youth and beauty. You work for Radium Dial Watch Company in Chicago painting watch faces. You're paid by the watch; you work fast, spinning the brush between your lips before affixing the paint. You're the first woman in your circle to work outside the home and you love it. Your job brings you good money, good friends and the thrill of independence. Your life shines with happiness and prosperity.But you're troubled by the shine on your hands-it won't wash off. Then you and your cherished colleagues start to get sick...
