We are now using BookTix Ticketing and Livestreaming for show tickets when we resume live performances, currently planned for the resumption of our 90th year in the Fall of 2021.
In the meantime, we will be streaming our Staged Play Readings and other virtual events on BookTixLive, with tickets being available by going to The Drama Group BookTix website http://dg.booktix.com/ where you will be directed to set up your account with The Drama Group-BookTix Box Office.
Your introduction to using BookTix will be an opportunity to watch a Staged Play Reading production of THESE SHINING LIVES by Melanie Marnich and directed by Mary Ellen Fawk. FREE tickets are available now by going to your newly created DG/BookTix account or by using the Drama Group website www.dramagroup.org and clicking the BookTix link.
Although Staged Play Readings will continue to be provided free to our audiences, this new, pandemic driven method of Bringing Broadway to the South Suburbs does incur some added production costs. We have added a “Donations Button” to the ticket order page if you would like to help The Drama Group defray the cost of producing these free plays.
Show times for THESE SHINING LIVES are 7:30pm Friday, Apr. 30; 7:30pm Saturday, May 1; and a matinee at 2:00pm on Sunday, May 2.
SYNOPSIS – THESE SHINING LIVES
THESE SHINING LIVES follows the compelling stories of the “Radium Girls,” young women in the 1920’s and ‘30’s who painted the faces of luminous watches and clocks with radioactive paint. Set in Chicago and Ottawa, IL, home of the Radium Dial Company, the play deals with the true story of Catherine Donohue, who begins working at the factory with the excitement of a newly liberated woman entering the workforce in 1922. It then follows her life through her cancer diagnosis and the litigation she pursued against Radium Dial into the late 1930’s. This transcendent story interweaves aspects of labor law, social and women’s history, and the personal details of the “Radium Girls’” lives.
