"Radium Girls" Play Performances
2025-05-02 19:00 - 21:00, 2025-05-01 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Chicago) | Sun Prairie East Performing Arts Center, 888 Grove Street, Sun Prairie, WI, 53590, United States
We are excited Sun Prairie East High School’s Spring play “Radium Girls”!
This play, written by D.W. Gregory, is a gripping drama based on the true story of female laborers who were poisoned and killed by their factory’s radium-based paint in the 1920s.
This production will be performed on May 1st, 2nd, and 3rd at 7:00 pm and May 4th at 2:00 pm at the Sun Prairie East Performing Arts Center. May 4th will be the ASL interpreted performance. Tickets can be bought by calling our box office at (608) 478-1725 or by going onto our website.
“In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie an international celebrity, and luminous watches the latest rage—until the girls who painted them began to fall ill with a mysterious disease. Inspired by a true story, Radium Girls traces the efforts of Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she fights for her day in court. Her chief adversary is her former employer, Arthur Roeder, an idealistic man who cannot bring himself to believe that the same element that shrinks tumors could have anything to do with the terrifying rash of illnesses among his employees. As the case goes on, however, Grace finds herself battling not just with the U.S. Radium Corporation, but with her own family and friends, who fear that her campaign for justice will backfire. Called a “powerful” and “engrossing” drama by critics, Radium Girls offers a wry, unflinching look at the peculiarly American obsessions with health, wealth, and the commercialization of science.”
