"Radium Girls" is a gripping drama based on the true story of female factory workers poisoned by radium-based paint. The play follows Grace, Irene and Kathryn, who are instructed to shape their paintbrushes with their mouths while painting watch dials. As the women develop serious health problems, they fight for justice against a powerful industry, raising questions about corporate responsibility, workers’ rights and the human cost of pursuing profit.

It takes a minimum of 24 hours from the time we receive the physical for it to upload into the online registration system. Physicals are valid for 3 years from the date of the exam. NOTE: If the physical expires during the season, the system will not let you register. Parents can check the current status of their child’s physical through their ParentVUE account by selecting the Student Info tab. The physical date is located at the bottom of the page.
