About the Show

In the 1920s, hundreds of young women found work in factories painting luminous watch dials — a symbol of progress, elegance, and American ingenuity. But when their bodies began to fall apart, they were met with silence, denial, and a powerful company determined to protect its reputation. Based on true events, Radium Girls is a searing and heartbreaking play about courage in the face of corporate greed. As the women fight for justice, their voices shine brighter than any glow-in-the-dark dial — a reminder that speaking the truth can change the world.
