Brianna Lugibihl ‘17, Brista Drake ‘19, Carrie Blust ‘18 and Emily Short ‘17 play “radium girls” in Bluffton University’s fall play, “These Shining Lives.”

Based on true events, the play tells the story of the women who painted glow-in-the-dark watch and clock faces in the 1920s and 1930s using radium-based paint.

The experiences of these women led to landmark court decisions and workers compensation regulations in the United States.
 
“These Shining Lives” by Melanie Marnich will be performed at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 3-5 and 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 6, in Ramseyer Auditorium in College Hall.

Reserved tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for senior citizens (65 and over) and non-Bluffton students.
