A Glow That Kills: See Radium Girls

Step back into the 1920s and witness a story inspired by true courage, corporate greed, and the fight for justice in D.W. Gregory’s powerful drama, Radium Girls.

In Orange, New Jersey, the girls at the U.S. Radium Corporation are thrilled to be painting luminous watch dials with the miraculous new element, radium. It’s the “modern miracle,” and the paint even makes their smiles glow! Young Grace Fryer is among them, proud of her high-paying job, even if she has to follow the company mandate to “lip-point” the brush for a finer tip.

But the magical glow soon gives way to a sinister darkness. As the women begin to suffer mysterious and agonizing ailments, the corporation insists the girls’ illness must be anything but radium poisoning.

Grace refuses to be silenced. Pitted against her former employer, the medical establishment, and a society that doubts her story, she embarks on a David-and-Goliath legal battle that will define workplace safety for generations to come.

This competition version of Radium Girls focuses on the intense, fast-paced drama of Grace’s fight, weaving together elements of courtroom thriller and human tragedy. It’s a stark, moving, and ultimately inspiring look at the young women who literally sacrificed their lives to expose a deadly corporate cover-up.
