Radium Girls

HART Theatre
185 SE Washington St. Hillsboro

Radium Girls, inspired by a true story, takes you back to the 1920s, where radium was painted onto watch faces for its luminous qualities without concern for the health impacts of radiation. Young factory workers begin a campaign for justice after being sickened by radium-laced paint on the job. It is a fast-moving theatrical ensemble piece about greed, wealth, the environment, science, and courage.
