About the project: The play highlights Grace, Irene, and Kathryn, who paint dials at the U.S. Radium Plant and are instructed to hold their brushes with precision by molding the bristles with their mouths while painting. The factory’s new owner, Arthur Roeder, is excited about radium’s promising future and believes in the company’s growth potential. Roder’s mindset is supported by Marie Curie, the internationally famous scientist, who believes radium provides many health benefits and could even cure cancer. But soon, many of the girls begin to notice disturbing health issues, and one of their co-workers dies, but her death is brushed aside. The plant tries to keep the girls who are getting sicker from talking to the press, push back their court dates, and deflect any negativity toward the company. Some of the surviving girls finally get settlements and medical coverage for the rest of their shortened lives. Additional info: Come be part of this powerful and fascinating story.
