Theater Performance - Radium Girls

March 10, 2018 @ 7:30 pm

Tabor Theater presents “Radium Girls” by D.W. Gregory March 8-11 in the Prieb Harder Theater in the Shari Flaming Center for the Arts.

Performances will be at 7:30 p.m., March 8-10 and 3 p.m., March 11.

Through the story of Grace Fryer and other women who suffered terribly as a result of industry outpacing, science and neglect of persons in the name of profit, this play illustrates a critical moment in American history.

The play is a look into the 1920s, when radium was considered a miracle cure for a range of ailments and was marketed to the public as a general health booster.

The play invokes some compelling and relevant questions about the media’s role in society, about laws that benefit businesses but can harm individuals and about a cultural tendency to dismiss women’s health concerns.

This event has limited seating. Tickets can be reserved or purchased at the door.
