Colonial Playhouse presents “These Shining Lives” by Melanie Marnach Sept. 20-Oct. 6.
The show is based on the true story of four women who worked for the Radium Dial Company – a watch factory based in Ottawa, Illinois. The play showcases the danger women faced in this workplace and highlights the wider lack of concern companies had for protecting the health of their employees.
