The Logos Theatre to Present RADIUM GIRLS

The Logos Theatre will present 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 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.

Join Logos on September 15, 22, and 29 at 7pm and September 16, 23, and 20 at 2pm. Appropriate for junior high/high school ages. Ticket price is normally $25, but for opening weekend it is buy one get one at %50 off. Contact the Logos Theatre at (864) 269-9342 or visit theacademyofarts.org for ticket information.
