鈥淚f one woman were to tell the truth about her life, the world would split open.鈥�

This quote not only starts 鈥淭hese Shining Lives,鈥� but defines the play, show director Daniel Anaya said. Often, women are taught to say nothing and suck it up, he said.

鈥淭hese Shining Lives,鈥� written by Melanie Marnich, follows four women who worked at the Radium Dial Company and the hazards they were exposed to while working with radium. The main character, Catherine Donohue, fights the corporation and wins her suit.

鈥淚 think if every woman were to tell the truth about her life, we wouldn鈥檛 have thousands of years of oppression,鈥� Anaya said.

鈥淭hese Shining Lives鈥� will run at The Adobe Theater from Friday, July 17, through Sunday, Aug. 9.

Anaya said the play is based on a true story.

鈥淭hese Shining Lives鈥� takes a lot of liberties in generalizing the characters, he said.

When approaching the play, he said his vision was to ensure the women were not victimized but rather portrayed as superheroes. To do this, he went back to his roots in black box theater.

鈥淚 grew up in the black box, and I really love the way, the simplicity of it,鈥� Anaya said, 鈥渁nd my concept for this show is kind of less is more, but let the less be more.鈥�

He wanted to focus on quality over quantity, telling the story through costuming, lighting effects and independent projectors rather than traditional large sets.

鈥淚nstead of having like a traditional living room scene or a kitchen scene, it鈥檚 all black, but with the projector showing basically a window on the wall, and then using gobo and lighting effects to kind of give that vibe off,鈥� he said.

The approach was inspired by Donohue鈥檚 monologue at the start of the play, in which she states, 鈥淭hey say when you die your life flashes before your eyes.鈥�

鈥淚t kind of got me into thinking that maybe that鈥檚 what this is,鈥� Anaya said, 鈥渁nd so I鈥檓 approaching the vision of this play as some sort of like a fever dream.鈥�

The Adobe Theater decided Anaya would be the perfect director for the show based on his past work, which includes acting as George in the theater鈥檚 production 鈥淥f Mice and Men.鈥�

鈥淚 took the script home and read it and fell in love with it instantly because of the sheer story that it tells, the importance of it and how it relates to 鈥� what鈥檚 going on right now,鈥� Anaya said.

The story, he said, has long lines connecting to the modern day, with conversations about corporate greed, child labor and how harmful some products, like Roundup and talcum powder, are to people.

鈥淚 think with this story, it kind of wakes people up and tells them that this is still going on,鈥� Anaya said, 鈥渁nd we still need to fight for our rights.鈥�

Anaya said he likes stories the audience can get something out of. Aside from highlighting issues in modern society, he said 鈥淭hese Shining Lives鈥� turns a lens on the importance of family and friends when facing challenges.

鈥淲ith this story, it really does highlight that you know you can get through a lot with the support that you do have,鈥� Anaya said, 鈥渁nd especially with the support of the people that you have around you.鈥�
