“These Shining Lives,” a play written by Melanie Marnich, opens today in the Chavez Auditorium. Doors open at 6 pm and the show will begin promptly at 7 pm. Admission to the performance is $5 for all and $3 for students with an ID. 

The play “These Shining Lives” follows a group of twenty somethings exploring their true story of strength and determination by women considered expendable in their day. It looks at a group of women who are trying to both survive unhealthy working conditions and fix those same conditions for workers of tomorrow.
