Be sure to come out and support our theatre students at this spring’s drama presentation of These Shining Lives, written by Melanie Marnich and directed by Rhett Luedtke.

The final performances are this week (April 16-19) in Wood-Mar Auditorium. All performances begin at 7:30 p.m. with the exception of Sunday’s show, scheduled as a 2 p.m. matinee.

Tickets are $6 for students (Thursday’s show is free to students), and employees are entitled to one complimentary ticket. Additional tickets are $12 for adults, $8 for seniors 65 or older, and $6 for children under 12. All tickets can be ordered at theatre.georgefox.edu, or you may pick them up from Kathy Harris (in MIN 205 office).

Synopsis: Marnich’s poetic tale of the women who worked for Radium Dial Company in Ottawa, Ill., in the 1920s and ’30s is deeply moving, wistful and beautifully tragic. Inspired by actual people and real events, These Shining Lives chronicles the lives of four women who refuse to allow a company more concerned with profit than safety to silence their voices. Join us as we remember our collective past, reflect on the present and dream of a better future.
