Photo Flash: Outcry Youth Theatre Presents RADIUM GIRLS

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, by D.W. Gregory and directed by Becca Johnson-Spinos, 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.

Don't miss this compelling true story of these brave women's fight for justice. There is one weekend left in this run - April 20th though the April 22ndat the Studio Theatre in Addison Conference and Theatre Centre.
