Asolo Repertory Theatre Presents " The Radium Girls"

The Asolo Repertory Theatre Players present Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America's Shining Women,  this year's One Book One Community choice by author Kate Moore.  

Kate Moore’s riveting true story of America’s “shining girls”, tells the story of young
women employed as dial painters in the 1920s using the new miracle substance,
“Radium”.

As they painted radium dials, they believed what they were told; that radium
was like a “mythological super being” and a boon to all humanity. Soon, they were
plagued with horrific and deadly cancers. Hear how they fought the employers’
dastardly and immoral cover-up. The Radium Girls “Illuminates the courage and tenacity
of these incredible women, whose determination to fight back led to life-changing
regulation, advanced nuclear research, and ultimately saved thousands of lives.”

Presented as part of the One Book One Community program.
