Masquers latest play based on a true story

Masquers Theater is proud to present Melanie Marnich’s “These Shining Lives”.  This play is based on the true story of four women who worked for the Radium Dial company during the 1920s and 30s. The play follows the ups and downs of these hardworking women in and out of work.  Experience the struggles working for this watch making company and the sad side-effects of the toxic chemical radium. Come see and understand how history was made, and watch one of the first stepping stones for “employee rights” be set!
