Glacier Peak High School Theatre Club presents Radium Girls
Glacier Peak High School Theatre Club proudly presents Radium Girls this November!
In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie an international celebrity, and luminous watches the latest rage - until the girls who painted them began to fall ill with a mysterious disease. Inspired by a true story, Radium Girls traces the efforts of Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she fights for her day in court. Her chief adversary is her former employer, Arthur Roeder, an idealistic man who cannot bring himself to believe that the same element that shrinks tumors could have anything to do with the terrifying rash of illnesses among his employees. As the case goes on, however, Grace finds herself battling not just with the U.S. Radium Corporation, but with her own family and friends, who fear that her campaign for justice will backfire. Written with warmth and humor, Radium Girls is a fast-moving, highly theatrical ensemble piece. Called a "powerful" and "engrossing" drama by critics, Radium Girls offers a wry, unflinching look at the peculiarly American obsessions with health, wealth, and the commercialization of science.
Suggested audience age is 12 and up due to themes of death and illness, which may not be suitable for younger audiences. Radium Girls will be performed on Fridays at 7 p.m. and Saturdays at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on November 15, 16, 22 and 23. Tickets can be purchased beginning Friday, November 1, by clicking here.
