¶¶ÒõÆƽâ°æ Presents: Radium Girls, October 17-20, 2019
The School of the Arts at ¶¶ÒõÆƽâ°æ will perform Radium Girls, beginning Thursday, October 17 through Sunday, October 20, 2019.
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. Written with warmth and humor, and envisioned by guest director Aaron Andrade, Radium Girls is a fast-moving, highly theatrical ensemble piece. Called a "powerful" and "engrossing" drama by critics, it offers a wry, unflinching look at the peculiarly American obsessions with health, wealth, and the commercialization of science.
Radium Girls is presented by special arrangement with Dramatic Publishing.
The ¶¶ÒõÆƽâ°æ production of Radium Girls will take place in the Main Stage in the Campus Center at ¶¶ÒõÆƽâ°æ, 109 West Central Street, Franklin at 7:30 p.m. Thursday – Saturday and 2:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. General admission is $22, Seniors $12 and Children $7.
