Engle Lane Theatre is honored to bring the gripping drama based on the events that unfolded in the radium dial factory in ottawa illinois.

THESE SHINING LIVES chronicles the strength and determination of women considered expendable in their day, exploring their true story and its continued resonance. Catherine and her friends are dying, it’s true; but theirs is a story of survival in its most transcendent sense, as they refuse to allow the company that stole their health to kill their spirits—or endanger the lives of those who come after them.

Directed by Kathy Hepner
