“Radium Girls,” presented by Capital High School Theatre, takes the stage this month.

In the early 1900s, radium is the new “miracle” material, used as a glow-in-the-dark paint for wartime watches. Painting these watch dials was the ideal job until the workers became ill.

Watch the story of Grace and her coworkers unfold as they struggle for workplace safety. This play by D.W. Gregory explores the complexities of fighting for workplace safety and a corporate leader’s desire to keep his company alive.

Performances will be held October 10, 11, 12, 17, 18 and 19. All performances begin at 7 p.m. and will be held in the Performing Arts Auditorium at Capital High School, 2707 Conger Ave. N.W.

Tickets are $10 for general admission and $8 for students and seniors. Questions? Contact the box office at (360) 596-8053.
