The Radium Girls were a group of female factory workers who contracted radiation poisoning from painting watch dials with glow-in-the-dark paint at the United States Radium factory in Orange, New Jersey around 1917. The women, who had been told the paint was harmless, ingested deadly amounts of radium by licking their paintbrushes to sharpen them; some also painted their fingernails with the glowing substance.
Grace found out today that she is playing the part of Irene Rudolph in this play. We are really excited for Grace. She loves to act and this part looks like a good one for her. Rehearsals start tomorrow and opening night is October 29th. Break a leg Gracie!
