These Shining Lives

These Shining Lives

by Melanie Marnich
Directed by Anne McEvoy

March 11 – April 3, 2022

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.
