CowanAbout the Play:The Radium Girls: A Jaw-Dropping New Musical is a female-driven, horror-laced dark comedy inspired by the stories and spirits of the incredible young women who worked the factory line at the U.S. Radium Corporation in the 1920s. Its a thrilling, chilling tale of three best friends Olive, Helen, and Frances who discover the evil lurking under the glittering surface of the radium craze and ultimately give the patriarchy a taste of its own poison. With queer themes, and a roaring contemporary twenties score, this piece is guaranteed to thrill and delight.About NEW WORKS - NEW VOICESNew Works - New Voices is a virtual production series dedicated to amplifying the voices of marginalized and underrepresented playwrights and composers.
