Radium Girls by D.W. Gregory is a historical drama based on the true story of young women who worked as dial painters in the 1920s and were poisoned by the radium-based paint they used, leading to a fight for justice against their employer, the U.S. Radium Corporation. The play follows dial painter Grace Fryer as she and other sick workers sue the company, highlighting themes of corporate responsibility, workers' rights, and the commercialization of science, all while showing the devastating health effects of radium exposure, such as bone disintegration. Written by D.W. Gregory and Directed by Terri McMahon.Performances run May 21st - 23rd & May 28th - 31st (Evenings and Matinees included)

Hart-Tish Park sits along the shores of Applegate Lake just south of Jacksonville, within Oregon’s Applegate Valley. The concert site slopes gently toward clear, calm water, with wide-open views across the lake to the Red Butte Wilderness—an ideal setting for an evening of music outdoors.
The park’s name comes from the Takelma word Hartish, meaning “heart of the lake,” recognizing this place as the ancestral homeland of the Umpqua, Modoc, Shasta, Takelma, and Latgawa peoples. Visitors are welcome to spend the day exploring nearby trails, swimming, or renting a stand-up paddleboard before the concert.
With thanks to our sponsors & partners at A Greater Applegate, Travel Southern Oregon, and Wander Applegate, and to our hosts at Hart-Tish Park Campground.
