Radium Girls at CMHS

Central Mountain High School Drama Club with Toner Auto Parts Presents Radium Girls by D.W. Gregory

In the 1920s, Radium was all the rage and it was being used everywhere for everything. It was in beauty products to give its users a 'youthful' glow. The glowing paint developed by VonSochocky was used on everything from light switches, to watch dials, to fishing lures. Perhaps most famously, Marie Curie led the campaign of doctors declaring it a cure all for Cancer but it didn't stop there. Companies began selling productions like Radithor - a Radium water drink touted for every day use for ailments from arthritis, to high blood pressure. Companies like the U.S. Radium Corporation. Who could have known the dangers? Or perhaps a better question - who should have known?

Radium Girls is a compelling and deeply human drama set during a pivotal moment of American history that explores the true story of the young women who worked as dial watch painters whose determination and courage helped lead a legal battle against the U.S. Radium Corporation and reshape conversations around workers’ rights and industrial safety
