by WILLIAMS, CYNTHIA via NEohioPAL 07 Apr '16

Kent State University at Stark Theatre presents These Shining Lives Kent State University at Stark's 2015-16 theatrical season will close with These Shining Lives by Melanie Marnich.

American Sign Language interpretation will be provided for the performance on May 1 at 2:30 p.m. Opening night is Scholarship Night with proceeds benefitting students in Kent State Stark theatre and music programs. Set in the 1920s, this impactful true account chronicles the strength and courage of female factory workers who hand paint glow-in-the-dark watch faces. When their health declines, proving their employer has poisoned them with radium becomes a valiant legal battle. Their story of survival is beautifully tragic as they strive to improve conditions for future working women. Ticket prices are $10 for adults and $7 for non-Kent State students, children under 17 and senior citizens. All Kent State students are admitted free of charge with current student ID. Tickets may be obtained beginning Monday, April 11.
