Profit Over People

Based on a true story, Radium Girls dramatizes the fight of one of the young women employed by a factory in New Jersey to paint the numbers on glow-in-the-dark watches using radium-based paint. The play investigates attempts corporate coverups, legal battles, and worker's rights. This production took place entirely in a dial painting factory re-created from historical images.
