Wake Forest University Theatre Presents These Shining Lives

Back in the 1920s and 30s, good-paying jobs were available for young women but they came with a horrible price. These Shining Lives chronicles the lives, loves and friendships of the “radium girls”, hired to paint watch and clock faces with highly toxic, but little-studied radium-based paint. These Shining Lives by Melanie Marnich, directed by WFU Theatre Professor  Cindy Gendrich will open Wake Forest University Theatre 2014-15 season. Cindy's joined in the studio by student actors Solomon Jordan, Hayley Greenstreet, and Mike Griggs.

These Shining Lives opens Friday, September 19^th and runs through the 28^th in the Mainstage Theatre of Scales Fine Arts Center with evening shows at 7:30 PM and Sunday matinees at 2:00 PM. WFU and iPlace are sponsoring several events around the performance.
