GILBERT — Stages of the Range Players will stage the play “These Shining Lives” this weekend, Sept. 22-24.
The play is written by Melanie Marnich, who is originally from Duluth and is based on the true story of four women who worked for the Radium Dial Company. The play showcases the danger the women were put through by the company and their fight against them.
Performances are 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 24 at 2:30 p.m. at Gilbert City Hall. Tickets available at the door or online. Stages of the Range Players was established in 2022 to provide theater experiences to stages across Minnesota's Iron Range.
