The first six performances of "These Shining Lives" by Melanie Marnich at Village Theatre Guild SOLD OUT. Five of the six remaining performances are also SOLD OUT. This is NO April Fool's Day joke! The remaining available performance is Friday April 11 at 7:30 PM. Get your tickets while you can. Tickets sometimes become available, so contacting the VTG box office to get on a waiting list is encouraged if there's a date you wanted to attend but it's currently sold out. The play is directed by Stan Austin and produced by Kevin Taylor. The cast features Amy Steele, Sara Cate Langham, Alyssa Mahoney, Paige Coe, Joe Gomez, Thomas Rieser, and Michael Bruce. Elizabeth King Riley also performs in an understudy role. “These Shining Lives” tells the true story of the women who worked at the Radium Dial Company in Ottawa, Illinois in the 1920s and 30s. The work they did there tragically impacted their health and their lives but did not crush their indomitable spirits and courage.
