CASTING CALL FOR FALL THEATER PRODUCTION 'THESE SHINING LIVES'
Students and community members are invited to audition for CSM’s fall theater production of “These Shining Lives” on Aug. 1-3. Based on the true story of the “radium girls,” the play chronicles the strength and determination of women who refuse to allow the company that stole their health to kill their spirits—or endanger the lives of those who come after them.
