Theatre UNI presents Radium Girls
By Erin McRae
TheatreUNI will perform “Radium Girls” by D.W. Gregory on March 1-4 at 7:30 p.m. and March 5 at 2 p.m. in the Strayer-Wood Theatre on the University of Northern Iowa campus. “Radium Girls” is the final show for TheatreUNI’s 2022-2023 season. The show is directed by Katherine Hahn, an assistant professor of acting at UNI.
“Radium Girls” follows a young woman named Grace Fryer as she fights for justice against the U.S. Radium Corporation in the face of corporate negligence. As a dial painter in the early 20th century, Fryer was one of many young women who suffered from radium poisoning after working in a factory with little to zero safety regulations.
Tickets to “Radium Girls” are available at UNITix.uni.edu or at UNITix box office locations.
