THE RADIUM GIRLS: A JAW-DROPPING NEW MUSICAL

Women fighting to be treated humanely in the workplace. Narcissistic white men taking advantage of people and slut shaming those who speak up. Corporations falsifying science to serve their own needs. We’re talking, of course, about America in the 1920s. This is the setting for THE RADIUM GIRLS: A JAW-DROPPING NEW MUSICAL, a female-driven dark comedy inspired by the stories and spirits of the young women who worked the factory line at the U.S. Radium Corporation in the early 20th Century. Our show tells the tale of three girls who are lured to the factory with the promise of a better life, discover the evil lurking under the glittering surface of the radium craze, and ultimately, give the patriarchy a taste of its own poison - like, literally.

All demos performed by the students of Western Connecticut State University’s Department of Theatre Arts.
