Four young women find friendship and solidarity at a well-paying radium dial factory job in the 1920s. Years later, as they realize that their health has been compromised by the work, they unite and support each other while exposing the truth.

Opening night event September 18: performance from 6:30 to 7 by Rare Spirits, whose original song, “Radium (Curie Eleison)” connected us with the band; they serve up high-proof Roots music with verve, humor and aplomb. Sweet harmonies, rollicking rhythms and an electrifying stage presence all combine. Link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BRHlGnliKI
