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 are May 21st-23rd & May 28th-31st

Our annual POPS concert features soundtracks from those summer movies where you could escape from it all into new worlds. Step back in time to the 70’s as we start the show with the “Theme from Jaws”, the original block buster movie. Then moving on from there through the decades into the 20-teens. Escape through the music of the summer.
