Notes regarding time
7:00 PM Nightly with a 2:00 PM Saturday MatineeDescription
In 1926, radium was a miracle cure that could “add years to your life.” Luminous radium-painted watches were all the rage — until the women who painted these watches began to fall fatally ill.
Based on the remarkable true story of Grace Fryer and other “Radium Girls” who dared to take on the U.S. Radium Corporation and its president, Arthur Roeder. Arthur, an idealistic businessman, vehemently argued the same element that shrinks tumors could not possibly have anything to do with the terrifying rash of illnesses spreading among his employees. The court battle dragged on for years... years the girls didn’t have. Many girls died before seeing justice, but this historic battle ultimately led to changing the safety standards for all workers everywhere.
Radium Girls is a powerful and engaging drama about the hope, courage, and determination of these young women.
