These Shining Lives by Melanie Marnich

Theatre

These Shining Lives is based on the true story of four women who worked for the Radium Dial Company - a watch factory based in Ottawa, Illinois. This poetic and beautiful little play is a story of survival in its most transcendent sense, and a reminiscence on love, family and time. The play focuses on the women who refuse to allow the company that stole their health to kill their spirits – and highlights their work to protect the lives of the generations who come after them. Directed by Michole Biancosino.

Untitled Owl Play by Sally Seitz '17

Theatre

Directed by Amanda Whiteley ‘19

As part of Trailblazing 2025, Dogteam presents a benefit reading of a new play by alum Sally Seitz.

Emily, Elena, and Becca, are three friends in their late twenties who meet every Friday night on a back porch in Austin, TX to drown beers and avoid growing up. Yet their weekly ritual is jeopardized by a lurking, particularly vocal Barn owl, who calls into question the stability of their chosen family. This play exists in that special time at night where reality brushes with myth, magic, fable, and faith.
