Main Stage Production

Penfield Players Spring 2026 Main Stage Production, These Shining Lives, Opens Friday, April 24,​ 2026

​

Written by Melanie Marnich and directed by Shawnda Urie​, "These Shining Lives," is based on the true story of the "Radium Girls," women who worked at the Radium Dial Company in the 1920s and 30s, painting watch dials with radium-based paint.

The play chronicles their lives, their radiation poisoning, and their fight for justice. "These Shining Lives" is the story of resilience, friendship, and the fight for dignity in the face of corporate greed.
