‘These Shining Lives’

Alive Theatre, a new Lansing theater group, will stage its first show, “These Shining Lives,” Friday and Saturday (Jan. 26 and 27) and Feb. 2 and 3 at Grace Bible Church in west Lansing. The play is set in the 1920s and ‘30s and follows the lives of four women who work at a watch factory in Illinois.

“‘These Shining Lives’ chronicles the strength and determination of women considered expendable in their day, exploring their true story and its continued resonance,” the theater wrote on its Facebook page. “Their story is one of friendship and dreams, despair and betrayal, justice and a fight for survival in their worst nightmare.”

The show is recommended for ages 12 and up due to its heavy themes.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $12.50 for students and seniors. They can be purchased at masterarts.ludus.com/index.php. For more information on Alive Theatre, visit facebook.com/TheAliveTheatre.
