Radium Girls
October 29 - November 21, 2021

Inspired by a true story from the 20’s, when radium was hailed as a miracle cure and
 luminous watch dials were a craze: a dial painter has contracted a mysterious illness,
and she struggles against her employer, her family,
and public opinion for recognition and justice.
A fast-moving, play for an ensemble who play more than 30 parts—
friends, co-workers, lovers, relatives, attorneys, scientists,
consumer advocates, and more.
