These Shining Lives

Under the direction of Performing Arts teacher Charlotte Dooling, Stevenson thespians put on a production of These Shining Lives. Written by Melanie Marnich, the play is based on the true story of the Radium Girls—a group of young women who painted watch dials with radium in the 1920s and suffered devastating health consequences. The play follows Catherine Donohue and her coworkers as they bond, persevere, and ultimately challenge the system that exploited them. A story of resilience, friendship, and the pursuit of justice, These Shining Lives celebrates the power of speaking the truth.
