These Shining Lives
2025-05-02 19:30 - 21:00 (America/Denver)
These Shining Lives
By: Melanie Marnich
Directed By: Missy Moore
These Shining Lives chronicles the strength and determination of women considered expendable in their day, exploring their true story and its continued resonance. Catherine and her friends are dying, it’s true; but theirs is a story of survival in its most transcendent sense, as they refuse to allow the company that stole their health to kill their spirits—or endanger the lives of those who come after them.

Kreutzer
Kreutzer is a genre-blending theatrical production that fuses three masterworks—Beethoven’s Kreutzer Sonata, Tolstoy’s incendiary novella The Kreutzer Sonata, and Janáček’s String Quartet Kreutzer Sonata—into a provocative tale of jealousy and redemption. Set aboard a train with no clear beginning or end, the production immerses audiences in a powerful emotional landscape enriched by a haunting score interwoven with music by Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Ljova, and Tavener.
For more information about the production visit: BenFeng Music Productions

Tickets for Kruetzer are available HERE

Concert Previews by Tom Buesch, professor of Music & Humanities, offers a close-up and in-depth look into the fascinating fabrics of music and literature that are interwoven into the production.
Free registration upon ticket purchase.
Sunday 9/14, 2 pm Third Street Center, Carbondale
Monday 9/15, 2 pm Art Gallery at CMC, Aspen
